Welcoming you to a small corner of New Mexico with a mighty history today!
This quaint railway town was born in 1879 when the Santa Fe railroad laid it’s tracks through New Mexico. All though just 18 miles south of Santa Fe, Lamy is surrounded by wilderness, big clear, star filled-skies, and plenty of Western charm. ( You will love the provided telescopes in The Rail House which I am going to tell you about shortly)
