Jemez Historic Site will lead a hands-on horno, or outdoor adobe oven, restoration workshop, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Sunday, June 22, to get the horno ready for the summer program season.

The community is invited to join Javier Guzman and the rangers at Jemez Historic Site to restore the horno. Visitors can join in and get their hands dirty while learning why hornos are so important in New Mexico and to this site. 

Participants are advised to wear comfortable shoes and clothing they don’t mind getting dirty. Bring water and sunscreen as well.

This workshop offers an opportunity for people to learn how outdoor adobe ovens are repaired and maintained.

The program is included with admission of $7 for adults and free to children 16 years and younger, people with Native/Tribal affiliations, New Mexico disabled veterans, New Mexico foster families, and FCJHS and MNMF members.
