Overview

As Route 66 connected already well-traveled roads from Chicago to Los Angeles via the American Southwest, Chinese merchants on Central Avenue in Albuquerque, New Mexico proved ready to be a welcoming destination along the “Mother Road.” This presentation will feature Fremont’s Fine Foods, a gourmet grocery store in the heart of Albuquerque established by Chinese immigrants in the early 1900’s.

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.
