Selesia Strozzi Ranch House

We went down to the Magdalena mountains to look for the Selesia Strozzi ranch house. The Strozzi’s owned most of this area and had several ranch houses here in this area. There is also the Papa ranch up the road who Sadie Strozzi was married to. Across the highway is the Allie Strozzi ranch house. The Strozzi’s are distant relatives to us. My great great grandmother was a Strozzi, her and her brother Alphonso immigrated from Switzerland back in the late 1800s. Alphonso started ranching out here. Pretty cool all of the history out here. #overland #overlanding #overlander #overlandnewmexico #newmexico #newmexicotrue

Wow. Thanks for the historical info. It makes this area seem more alive instead of just scenery. My wife has relatives in Switzerland.
