Kit Carson House was a home of frontiersman Kit Carson in Taos, New Mexico, United States. It is operated now as a house museum. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1963.[2][3][4]

The building is an example of territorial and Spanish Colonial architecture. Open to the public, it is operated by the Taos Masonic Lodge.[5]

Kit Carson, who died in Colorado, was buried in Kit Carson Park and Historic Cemetery in Taos.[5][6] The 19 acre park is 1 1/2 blocks north of the Taos Plaza on Paseo Del Pueblo Norte. Aside from the cemetery of noteworthy residents of Taos, it is a park and picnic areas with facilities for walking, tennis, basketball, soccer and jogging.[6]
