Route 66 Centennial Speaker Series: Route 66 New Mexico

Event box

In-Person

Come on a tour from Texas to Arizona with photographer Sondra Diepen as she exposes the remains of New Mexico’s Route 66 and reveals tales of snakes, rustlers and diners. Sondra will relate how an abandoned trading post covered with faded murals led to 10 years of work uncovering the Mother Road’s ghost towns and neon signs, resulting in a book of over 200 photos documenting former and present tourist attractions.

There will be free parking for the speaker series in the lot across the street from the library, courtesy of the Albuquerque Historical Society.
