Mining History of the Cerrillos Hills

While State Parks has suspended programs due to Covid 19, we'd like to share a video we think everyone would enjoy for the amount of local history it contains. In the Mining History of the Cerrillos Hills historian Bill Baxter describes the beginnings of the area's first mines. Cerrillos Hills State Park contains 1,116 acres located on the southern edge of the mining district.  Mining History of the Cerrillos Hills - YouTube
