Get to know the real New Mexico with The Story of New Mexico, our Travel and Lecture Series program, a celebration of history, culture, and geography with an emphasis on understanding New Mexico. The Lecture Series may include presentations by historians, folklorists, artists, photographers, scientists and more.
Field Trips: People travel from all over the world to see the great sights of New Mexico — and we can take them in with a day trip or two! We are fortunate to live in one of the most scenic and interesting places in the country, a destination for many vacationers and explorers. Besides spectacular and unspoiled landscapes, New Mexico blends distinctive living cultures together to make an interesting and diverse society, and our field trips take you inside the mysteries of this special place.
