Taos Pueblo
Taos, New Mexico, USA
Taos Pueblo is not a museum, not a reconstruction, not a relic. It is a community. Approximately 150 people live full-time in the same multi-story adobe structures their ancestors built between 1000 and 1450 CE, without electricity or running water, maintaining traditions unbroken for a millennium. When you visit Taos Pueblo, you enter someone's home—and you do so only because the community has chosen, on its own terms, to allow it.
