Old Santa Fe Trail relics face demolition amid renewal plans
An aging adobe block at Bluewater near Santa Fe has prompted fears the last Santa Fe Trail relic in the city may be razed for a memorial arch planned at the plaza. The 1900s proposal, approved by the legislature, calls for a stone arch and four granite monuments along the trail with convict labor and New Mexico quarry stone, while preserving the trail’s historic route and promoting continued marking by civic groups.
