WHAT: Carreta Building Demonstration at El Camino Real International Heritage Center

El Camino Real International Heritage Center will be hosting an on-going demonstration on building a carreta, or wagon, by Mr. Gary Williams. The carreta was the two-wheel, wooden wagon used in local transport of items in communities along El Camino Real, the 1500 mile trail that connected Mexico and New Mexico. Carros or carrotones were the four-wheeled wagons that were used on the long haul journeys of the trail. Wagons played a very critical role in the transportation of goods and people on El Camino Real for hundreds of years. Transportation on these wagons was a long and treacherous journey that took as long as eight months, one way from Mexico City to Santa Fe. With the introduction of the railroad into New Mexico during the late 1880s, the use of the carreta on the trail faded away, but still thrived as a form of transportation within the communities along El Camino Real until it was finally replaced by the automobile. Today carretas are seen as pivotal to the settlement and economic growth of New Mexico during its early development.

Mr. Gary Williams will be at the Center demonstrating the building of a carreta Wednesday through Friday with the exception of closed State furlough dates. Visitors are encouraged to visit the Center to see the construction of the wagon which will become a permanent fixture at the site. The demonstration will commence on Wednesday, January 13^th and pending to be completed by March 4^th. There will be a formal dedication of the completed carreta in May during National Historic Preservation Month. The demonstration dates are as follows:

Wednesday, January 13 – Thursday, January 14;

Wednesday, January 20 – Friday, January 22;

Wednesday, January 27 – Friday, January 29;

Wednesday, February 3 – Friday, February 5;

Wednesday, February 10 – Friday, February 12;

Wednesday, February 17 – Friday, February 19;

Wednesday, February 24 – Friday, February 26;

Wednesday, March 3 – Thursday, March 4;

Williams grew up on a farm in northern Illinois, and as a result, he was exposed to numerous hand tools and learned how to use them before many of them became powered by batteries or electric motors. He learned how to properly sharpen and use wood-working tools such as an axe, adz, planes, draw knife, and chisels.

Williams and his wife, Barbara, moved to Corrales, New Mexico in 2003. Williams was a computer programmer and consultant for almost forty years, while living in New Jersey. During that time, he and his wife completely restored an historic (c.1727) stone house in the village of Quakertown –which is now on the National Register of Historic Places. Doing much of the restoration on their own gave Williams the opportunity to use the old tools and hone his wood working skills.

If Williams looks familiar, you have probably seen him at his true hobby – blacksmithing.

Since his retirement in 2005, Gary has been able to devote more time to blacksmithing. He currently does demonstrations for various groups and events, including the Corrales Harvest Festival, the Festival of the Cranes at Bosque del Apache, and at the Corrales Elementary School. He is actively involved with the Southwest Artist Blacksmith Association.

Williams also served as President of the Sandoval County Historical Society from 2007 to 2009 and is currently Vice President and program chair for the Friends of Coronado State Monument.

As a blacksmith, Gary found the carreta project both a challenge, since it is constructed entirely of wood, with no metal parts at all, and an opportunity to use his wood working skills once again.

Educational programs and activities are made possible by El Camino Real IHC Foundation and the Museums of New Mexico Foundation.

El Camino Real International Heritage Center is a New Mexico State Monument operated by the Department of Cultural Affairs.

Opening its doors to the public in November 2005 as the sixth addition to NM State Monuments, El Camino Real International Heritage Center commemorates the oldest commuted trail in the United States. This trail, El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro, is one of the most important legacies of the Spanish settlers who arrived in New Mexico in 1598. This Royal Road to the Interior Land extended 1,500 miles between Mexico City and San Juan de los Caballeros, in the Española Valley north of Santa Fe. El Camino Real became a vital trade route linking Spain, Mexico, New Mexico and later the United States. As Interstate 25, the North-South trade route continues to foster the exchange of people, culture, ideas and products in the 21^st Century.

The Center offers fascinating, informative state-of-the-art exhibits while taking a virtual tour along the trail from Mexico City to Santa Fe, New Mexico. Enjoy outdoor gardens, walking trails, self-guided audio tour, and gift shop.

INFORMATION TO PUBLIC:

School groups free. Children 16 and younger free. Sundays free for NM residents with ID. Wednesdays free for NM resident senior citizens (60+) with ID. Free for Museum of NM Foundation and ECRIHC Foundation members. Single visit, $5.00.

Open 6 days a week, 8:30 am – 5 pm. Closed Tuesdays. Closed Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s, and Easter.
