Three Trails Children's Musuem

The National Park Service provided funding for the development of a narrative musical program to be performed at the 2015 "All Trails Lead to Santa Fe" conference. The project consisted of the planning, development, and performance of a musical that featured the history of the three National Historic Trails (the Santa Fe, the Old Spanish, and the El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro) that converge in Santa Fe, as well as the filming of the performance, and posting of that filmed performance on the Internet. Performing the musical were children from Santa Fe elementary schools. The three trails conference was hosted by the Santa Fe Trail Association (SFTA), Old Spanish Trail Association (OSTA), and El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro Trail Association (CARTA) in Santa Fe, September 17-20, 2015.
