The Baca House was built in the adobe style toward the end of the Santa Fe Trail era in 1870 by Frank Hough, manager of the Prowers & Hough Mercantile. In 1873 he sold the house to Felipe and Maria Dolores Baca for $7,000 worth of wool. The Bacas paid an additional $1,500 worth of wool for the furnishings.
Behind the Baca House is the long one-story adobe building which housed Felipe Baca's hired personnel and their families. This building now houses the charming Pioneer Museum.
