Description

LA CUEVA MERCANTILE WINDOW 2 by PRISCILLA BURGERS

In the early 1800's, the Governor of the New Mexico Territory granted some 32,000 thousand acres out of the original Mora Land Grant of some 827,889 acres to Vincente Romero and his wife Josefa. They each received 16,000 acres of lush northern New Mexico land. Vincente is said to have originally slept in the small caves while tending his sheep and fishing in the streams and rivers. It is said that he named the site La Cueva de los Pescadores (the cave of the fisher people). and the name La Cueva still survives on maps. The area is now a National Historic Site and is identified on maps and road signs as the La Cueva Historic Site. By the early 1860s, a number of buildings were completed at La Cueva, including the Mercantile. The store's original counters, windows and shutters create a sense of an era past.
