Santa Ana / Sandia / Zia / Jemez / Duke

Prairie Star also has private dining rooms for smaller dinner parties, cocktail parties, business meetings and receptions. These room titles are derived from the four Pueblos that labored to construct the original building erected almost 100 years ago. They are the Sandia, Santa Ana, Zia, and Jemez Pueblos. The Duke room is named after Mrs. Eva Wade Duke, a county nurse, who is still known to Bernalillo old-timers as the strong and independent homesteader of the property. The adobe house she built was the original structure on the foundation of what is now the Prairie Star Restaurant. She raised two children and lived for nearly thirty years in a New Mexico Mission-style home.
