Todd & Patricia Brown, owners of the Casa Grande Trading Post, live in a 19-room adobe hacienda that they built themselves. They make jewelry using rare Cerrillos Turquoise and Variscite from their two mining claims. They cut and polish the stones and set them in silver. Todd uses techniques developed when he first came to Cerrillos in 1970. Their son Andy follows his dad's footsteps, working with him at the mines, he is also as an artisan doing custom jewelry & repairs. The trading post has rocks and minerals, old bottles, art & crafts. Filming took place in the trading post and museum for Dark Winds series 2 and 3. The Mining Museum has displays on local history, prehistoric mining and territorial mines of the 1880's and the unique finds of an 1880's Cerrillos outhouse dig. You will find several friendly goats, llamas, chickens and pigeons in the Petting Zoo. Animal food is for sale in the gift shop.
