The Neighborhood:
Raton is a peaceful, unassuming town where time seems to have paused, leaving behind the noise and rush of modern life. Here, you can step back into a simpler era, where the charm of a quaint, close-knit community shines through.
Nestled amid stunning natural landscapes, Raton offers an ideal setting for outdoor enthusiasts and history buffs alike. The area boasts breathtaking views of the Capulin Volcano National Monument, an extinct cinder cone volcano that provides a glimpse into the region’s dramatic geological past. The historic Raton Pass, once a critical route on the Santa Fe Trail, is steeped in stories of exploration, trade, and Western adventure.
Strolling through Raton’s historic streets, you’ll discover a blend of vintage architecture and local charm, with opportunities to explore unique shops, art galleries, and cozy eateries. Whether you’re hiking the rugged terrain, learning about the town’s vibrant history, or simply savoring the slower pace of life, Raton invites you to experience its timeless beauty and welcoming spirit.
The FranklinFab co. Gallery is in a R2 zoning district. Commercial/residential. Meaning there are homes as well as businesses nearby. It sits right on the Main Street through town and can be a little noisy during the day from traffic, it usually quiets down around dark. Since it’s on the Main Street, it has easy access to restaurants, parks, hiking trails and the interstate (just .5 mile away) we’re very easy to find!
