Tijeras Canyon with Tijeras at the east end and Carnuel at the west end has been an important community for hundreds of years. Communites 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. There will be free parking for the speaker series in the lot across the street from the library, courtesy of the Albuquerque Historical Society. For more information, visit www.Route66Speakers.org.
