Trinidad’s founders laid the city center right along the wagon ruts of the Santa Fe Trail, the nation’s first commercial highway. Today, tour dazzling architecture and historic homes from this era in El Corazón de Trinidad National Historic District.

Walk Through the History of Trinidad

Tour Trinidad’s North Commercial Street, East Main Street, and West Main Street on this walking tour of historic buildings and sites.

Former advertising executive, Trinidad Historical Society public relations director, and beloved community member Gerald “Jerry” Stokes (1928-2010) wrote a witty guide sharing his deep knowledge of Trinidad’s rich and diverse history. His contributions have been developed into an engaging, three-part self-guided audio tour.

Trace the footsteps of early traders and settlers, learn about the city’s legendary architecture, and hear the stories these cobblestone streets could tell.
