Friends of èßäÊÓÆµapp-in-Taos

èßäÊÓÆµapp-in-Taos is located on 423 acres in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of New Mexico. The restored 19th-century Fort Burgwin compound and the 13th-century Pot Creek Pueblo archaeological site are both unique and priceless.

For more than 40 years, the èßäÊÓÆµapp-in-Taos èßäÊÓÆµapp has offered an educational program that combines the classroom with the cultural and natural resources of New Mexico to create a unique learning experience. History comes alive for students as they experience hands-on learning at the Fort Burgwin èßäÊÓÆµapp with courses offered on topics ranging from anthropology to statistics, and outdoor activities including river rafting, rock climbing, hiking and fly-fishing.

Life-changing experiences such as the one described above and countless others would not be possible without the faithful support of donors whose generosity continues to expand and enhance èßäÊÓÆµapp’s New Mexico èßäÊÓÆµapp.
