Ken's New Mexico History Museum Tours &

Tips to Being a Successful Docent


Museum Tours

I completed the 7 month Guide/Docent class at the New Mexico History Museum in May 2019 and am now giving tours at the Museum. I am usually there on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Check the calendar below to see the times when I will be there in the coming months. If you are in town come hear about New Mexico history first hand! I even made an online study guide for the course. This is my Virtual Tour!
