Red River has a rich history dating back to the mid-1800s mining boom. This legacy is still evident in the historic buildings and "Old West" architecture scattered throughout the village. Today, that history blends with a vibrant culture, hosting events like the annual Winter Carnival and the Red River Blues & Brews Festival.
While Red River provides a peaceful, secluded setting, it is only a short, scenic drive away from the cultural attractions of Taos, NM. This allows residents to enjoy the quiet mountain lifestyle while having easy access to world-class art galleries, museums, and fine dining.
