Previous attempts to open a trade route between the two provinces of Mexico had proved difficult and unsuccessful. Immediate commerce began between Santa Fe and California, and pack trains made annual trips carrying woven Mexican products to California in exchange for horses and mules for New Mexico. Old Spanish Trail was developed by Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado. The Palace of the Governors assisted in developing the exhibit and loaned pieces from its collection.
