Inscription.
The Santa Fe Trail passed through what is now Amelia White Park. The paved road to the right, Old Santa Fe Trail, follows the path and ruts of the original trail route, whose travelers came from a variety of backgrounds. From the start, Hispanic traders made use of this two way street. From New Mexico, they traveled over the Santa Fe Trail, just as others came west. Traveling to St. Louis, New York, London, Paris, they sold raw goods from New Mexico, and purchased finished goods to sell in Santa Fe and other parts of Mexico.

Erected by Santa Fe Trail Association, Old Santa Fe Trail Neighborhood Association, and the City of Santa Fe.
