Review:
Founded in 1970 to preserve and showcase the rich history of the area, the San Juan Historical Museum is housed inside the town's old waterworks building. Local residents have donated a large number of fascinating historical artifacts over the years, including various photos and artifacts from the homes, farms, and ranches found in the area. Other exhibits include the Oppenheimer Chair, used by J. Robert Oppenheimer during his time at Los Alamos Laboratory, a collection of metal sculptures by Worth Crouse, and a special display of quilts. The museum is open May through September, and there is no fee for admission.
