Event Details

Coronado Historic Site offers extended hours from dawn until dusk, on the First Sunday of each month, May through October, to allow visitors an opportunity to see the site at these beautiful times of day. Join us today from 2-4 p.m. to listen to storyteller Rosalia Pacheco perform La Llorona, or The Wailing Woman. This famous ghost from Spanish folklore is known throughout the world for her eerie, spine-chilling cries as she searches for her lost drowned loved ones, her darling children. Early Spanish settlers knew of her. Her folk story was ancient in European mythology, but in New Mexico it is said she lived next door, or that an ancestor actually knew her. This program is sponsored by the NM Humanities Council. First Sundays are FREE to all New Mexico residents with ID. Regular admission of $7 per adult for non-residents.

Note: The adobe oven corn-roasting originally scheduled for today has been canceled. We hope to reschedule the activity on another day.
