For generations this ancient hostelry
stood in Santa Fe, New Mexico, at the end of
the Santa Fe Trail. Here it was that the old
- stage-coaches and traders' caravans halted
z after the arduous and dangerous journey across
mountain and prairie from "The States". It was
the rendezvous of celebrities, pioneers, traders,
gamblers and adventurers in the 'early days"
With the coming of the railroad and the disuse
of "The Trail" La Fonda fell into decay and ruin,
but when the automobiles in ever increasing
numbers revived the historic Santa Fe Trail,
a beautiful modern hostelry was erected on this
site.
