Friends of History members find culture and camaraderie in distinctive programs and tours that illuminate the stories that speak to the history, heart and heritage of New Mexico and the greater Southwest borderlands. Activities range from visits to neighboring Indian pueblos to hear from Native elders, to explorations of New Mexico Civil War sites, to lectures by Los Alamos scientists who illuminate the scientific role of the state’s national laboratories. These and other Friends of History events provide members with a better understanding of regional history while generating essential funds for special museum programs and projects.
