The City of Las Vegas NM Museum and Rough Rider Memorial collection started this blog as a forum for those interested in the history of Las Vegas New Mexico, including the Rough Riders (1st Volunteer Cavalry Unit). We expect you to share stories, ask questions, discuss exhibits you would like to see, the exhibits we have, and anything that comes to mind. If you’re not familiar with our exhibits, please come in and check them out Tues – Sat 10 -4. We are located at 727 Grand Ave, Las Vegas NM.
Coming Home — War, Work, and Wanderings is a series of interviews recorded during the Fiestas. New Mexico Highlands University Media Arts Department interns Ben Jeremiad and Becca Glenn recorded and edited the interviews. They compiled an eight minute video that tells a story of leaving, being gone, and coming home to Las Vegas.
The video premiered for Heritage Week. It can be seen on the new gallery computer. at the Museum. Watch for the Friends of the Museum Newsletter to learn more about this video and the Oral History Project.
