A Journey Through History
The San Geronimo bell carries the name of one of the Southwest’s most storied landmarks. The San Geronimo de Taos Mission was first established in 1619 near the Taos Pueblo—a valley with archaeological roots dating back to 3,000 B.C.
After centuries of upheaval and reconstruction, the current church (built in 1850) remains a breathtaking icon of mission architecture. This bell serves as a tribute to that enduring spirit and the timeless beauty of the New Mexico landscape.
