Route 66 Centennial Speaker Series: Agriculture, Architecture, Artists, Bootleggers, and Businesses along the Mother Road in Los Ranchos
Who were the residents? What were their lives like? What did they do and how did they survive and use Fourth street (old Route 66)? What was historic Los Ranchos like during the pre-alignment period from 1926- 1937? The Mother Road played a significant role in shaping history and identity even after the realignment and before the Interstate was built. Presented by Gordene MacKenzie.
