In the early 1930s the National Park Service began to search for a centralized location from which to manage its burgeoning number of Southwest parks and monuments, and Director Horace Albright championed the idea of a Santa Fe location.

To sweeten the offer, the Santa Fe Laboratory of Anthropology offered to donate 8 5 acres of land if the Service would build in Santa Fe. Read More
