Overview

Who were the residents? What were their lives like? What did they do and how did they survive and use Fourth street (old Route 66)? What was historic Los Ranchos like during the pre-alignment period from 1926- 1937? The Mother Road played a significant role in shaping history and identity even after the realignment and before the Interstate was built.

Historic Albuquerque, along with three other historic preservation groups, are putting on the New Mexico Route 66 Centennial Speaker Series. The presentations will be provided free to the public on the 4th Saturday of each month in 2026 (except December) from 11:00 am to 12:30 pm at 12 different locations simultaneously. Most of these locations on along the Mother Road. For an up-to-date calendar of these events, go to WWW.Route66Speakers.org
