About Santa Fe

Discover Santa Fe, a unique city with a robust history complemented by the vibrance of contemporary artistry. Honored as one of the world's most creative cities, Santa Fe has remained rooted in the artistic community for over a century.

Established by Don Pedro Peralta circa 1609, the city was settled by Europeans before the Plymouth Colony, establishing Santa Fe as the oldest European community West of the Mississippi. Connected to the city's first settlers, Santa Fe, New Mexico attractions are rich with history, allowing guests to experience authentic Pueblo architecture and the city's first government building, the Palace of the Governors.


La Fonda on the Plaza holds a coveted place in a rich tapestry of hospitality that predates American independence. City records indicate that La Fonda sits on the site of the town's first inn, established when the city was founded by Spaniards in 1607, making our property the oldest hotel corner in America.

Vibrant and eclectic, and a proud member of the Historic Hotels of America, La Fonda's history can be traced back 400 years.  In 1821, Captain William Becknell and his party found their way to La Fonda during the maiden commercial route across the plains from Missouri, establishing the Santa Fe Trail as well as La Fonda's reputation for hospitality.  Throughout the 19th century, La Fonda quickly became the preferred lodging option among trappers, soldiers, gold seekers, gamblers and politicians. The adobe structure changed hands several times as the years progressed, enduring milestones such as the Civil War, railroad expansion and New Mexico statehood, while maintaining its status as a Santa Fe landmark.

Outreach Opportunity

The DEI Committee will again be organizing genetics education outreach activities at Title 1 middle and high schools in the Virginia Beach area. Volunteers will work together using pgEd curriculum materials to develop a lesson plan that connects with what students are learning in the classroom you are visiting. Plans are finalized 2- 4 weeks before the conference, once we have heard back from the host teachers.  Volunteers should plan to arrive on Monday May 4 so they can spend most of the day on Tuesday May 5 at the schools. Please indicate your interest in participating in this fun program on the meeting registration form. You can also reach out directly to Shoumita Dasgupta.
