Abiquiu (AH-bi-kyoo) is a village in the north central region of New Mexico, USA. Despite its small population, it is interesting for attractive scenery and for Ghost Ranch, a conference center and living museum. In the village proper, one can visit the home of famous painter Georgia O'Keeffe.

An education and spiritual retreat center owned by the Presbyterian Church, Ghost Ranch is a large complex of lodging and conference facilities situated amidst some spectacular red rock scenery. The complex is open to anyone, with a visitor center, a pair of museums, and several hiking trails leading into the surrounding country. Most notably, Georgia O'Keeffe maintained a summer home here starting in 1934, and later purchased a home in the village proper; however, O'Keeffe's Ghost Ranch home is not open to the public. Guided hikes and horseback rides are offered. The ranch is also a common stop on the Continental Divide Trail (CDT) alternate route, and it accepts hiker resupply packages.
Displays artifacts from ancient Paleo Indian cultures, including material excavated from sites on the Ghost Ranch property, as well as the work of local Native and Hispanic artists.
Ghost Ranch is noted in the paleontology community for being the site of one of the best-known sources of fossils from the Triassic period, when dinosaurs began to emerge on the planet. The fossils at this small but engaging museum reflect that legacy, including the skeleton of a Coelophysis, one of the very first dinosaurs. There are also some interactive exhibits, as well as a huge block of dinosaur bones from the Ghost Ranch property that is being worked on in the middle of the museum.
The main home and studio of Georgia O'Keeffe in Abiquiu. Open to the public on a reservation basis, you must book tours through the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, online at the link provided. No walk-ins are allowed.
The Monastery is situated in a beautiful, quiet canyon in northwestern New Mexico, surrounded by miles of government-protected wilderness. The chief architect of the original monastery was George Nakashima, famous Japanese-American woodworker and architect.
