Route 66 Centennial Speaker Series: Tijeras Canyon-Five Miles of Road and Hundreds of Stories
Tijeras Canyon with Tijeras at the east end and Carnuel at the west end has been an important community for hundreds of years. Communities thrive because of the people who live and work there. This talk focuses on those people and their stories in a time frame of 1900 to 1950. Presented by Hazel Lathrop.
This is part of a rotating series of speakers that will offer presentations at these locations in 2026: Raymond Sanchez Community Center; Martha Liebert Public Library; Gutierrez-Hubbell House; International District Library; Isleta Pueblo Cultural Center; Los Lunas Multigenerational Center; Special Collections Library, East Mountain Library, Central and Unser Library, and the Wheels Museum.
