Doorway at the Magoffin Home State Historic Site, El Paso, Texas

Title, date, and keywords based on information provided by the photographer.
The site explores the stories of a multicultural family who actively participated in U.S. expansion and settlement, military service, trade on the Santa Fe-Chihuahua Trail, Civil War turmoil, and U.S.-Mexico relations. Built in 1875 for pioneer, politician, and civic leader Joseph Magoffin, the nineteen-room adobe home containing original family furnishings is El Paso's only historic house museum and a prime example of Territorial style architecture.
