FFNM Guided Tour of Los Poblanos

by

Approximately 25 club members enjoyed lunch at Dave’s Valley Cafe in Los Ranchos prior to meeting a tour guide at the historic Los Poblanos.  We were treated to a delightful walking tour of the original buildings and our guide, Kate Garner, culture and community event director led our group.  We had a leisurely walk through the grounds, looking at the landscape and buildings, making various stops to listen to a detailed narrative of the site history. We couldn’t have asked for better weather. It was quite a treat to be able to see so much that is not normally opened to the general public.

Thanks to our Event Coordinator! Thanks also to the excellent and knowledgeable Los Poblanos Tour Guide!
