José Mabrilio Sisneros

A man gifted with the vision to create the territorial-style compound, which sits beautifully in the New Mexican landscape, and reflect the rich history of the beautiful Rio Abajo (Middle Rio Grande Valley). The various works of relief art, sculpture, literature and architecture come together to celebrate a cross-section of New Mexican history, geography, and spirit drawn from the people who have populated this land for the last four hundred years.

Just as many other families that arrived to the Kingdom of New Spain from the time of Juan de Oñate in 1598, La Familia Sisneros has a documented presence here since 1632. The history of these families is not one of conquerors, but the story of a humble people who anonymously contributed to this land, and have blended into the landscape and ambience of this truly enchanted place we call New Mexico. This is the spirit we celebrate and share with all guests.
