Overview

In the 1960s, Albuquerque had a theme park showing the west’s history with cowboys, old west towns and Native Americans. The owners collaborated with Fred Harmon who created the comic characters of Red Ryder and Little Beaver. They called it Little Beaver Town, and it was to be a Route 66 main attraction. But, that was not to be.

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.
