A History Lover's Guide to Albuquerque

by Roger M. Zimmerman

Overview

A landmark-by-landmark tour of New Mexico’s largest city, with photos and facts on its fascinating past.
 
This tour of Albuquerque, New Mexico, goes beyond the traditional guidebook to offer a historical journal detailing an area rich with diverse cultures and dramatic events. The journey through time starts with the settlement of Native Americans in pueblos along the Rio Grande and then initiatives by Spain to settle and convert the region. Visit Old Town Plaza, where trade from the El Camino Real and Santa Fe Trails flourished. Look around lesser-known sites, including railroad depot facilities, major military landmarks and nostalgic Route 66. Join local history expert Roger Zimmerman as he carefully curates an expedition through each era of Albuquerque’s history and its most beloved sites
