Event Details

For the 4th year running, Taylor-Mesilla Historic Site staff have chosen 32 objects from the extensive Taylor Family Collection to compete in a bracket-style tournament on New Mexico Historic Site’s Facebook and Instagram accounts. 

If you’ve participated before, be sure to join us again as the 32 objects are all new to this competition. Beginning Tuesday, February 25 when the competitors are announced and then every Tuesday during the month of March, visitors to the New Mexico Historic Sites Facebook and Instagram will be invited to vote on their favorite of the 32 objects. Over the course of the month, the competitors will be narrowed from 32 until a winning object is chosen. The winning object will be announced Tuesday, April 8 and will take the title of winner in the 4th Annual Taylor Collection Tournament.

Located on the historic plaza in Old Mesilla, Taylor-Mesilla Historic Site embodies the rich history and heritage of the Southwest Borderlands. In 2003, the late J. Paul and Mary Daniels Taylor and their family generously donated their historic adobe home and two adjoining stores to the Museum of New Mexico. This is a fun activity to learn more about the unique collection of Spanish Colonial, Mexican, and New Mexican artwork, furniture, rugs, pottery, and textiles from all over the world.
