SUMMARY:Culture Series: Satellite Observation and Tracking in Southern NM
DESCRIPTION:The little-known history of satellite observation and tracking in southern New Mexico is the topic of the January Culture Series presentation at the New Mexico Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum in Las Cruces. \nThe lecture by Bill Godby of White Sands Missile Range is at 7 p.m. on Thursday\, Jan. 12\, in the Museum’s Theater. Admission is free. The presentation\, organized and hosted by the Friends of the Museum\, is in conjunction with the Museum’s popular exhibit about White Sands Missile Range: Home on the Range: From Ranches to Rockets. \nSouthern New Mexico has long been the home to incredible night skies. The astronomical “seeing” has provided many opportunities for scientific research. This presentation will discuss people\, places and technology in our area that have played a significant role in satellite tracking and the space race. Topics include the International Geophysical Year or IGY\, beginning on July 1\, 1957\, the launch of Sputnik 1 and Explorer 1 satellites\, the beginnings of the world’s first satellite tracking station and satellite tracking program\, and Moonwatch\, a highly successful global satellite observation program. \nBill Godby grew up in Flint\, Mich.\, attending the University of Michigan-Flint\, receiving a BA in both anthropology and philosophy in 1993\, followed by a master’s degree in 1999 from the University of Hawaii where Bill began his career as an archaeologist for the U.S. Army.  Leaving Hawaii in 2009\, Bill joined the cultural resource management team at White Sands Missile Range and has led efforts to document Cold War era resources\, receiving the Governor’s Distinguished Heritage Program Award in 2018.

SUMMARY:Culture Series: The Mountain Pride Stagecoach
DESCRIPTION:The colorful\, rich history of the “Mountain Pride” stagecoach is the subject of the next Culture Series presentation at the New Mexico Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum. \nSteve Dobrott of the Hillsboro Historical Society is the speaker for this lecture at 7 p.m. on Thursday\, Feb. 9 in the Museum’s Theater. Admission is free. The Culture Series presentations are organized and hosted by the Friends of the New Mexico Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum. \nIn this slide presentation of historic photos from the archives of the Black Range Museum\, Dobrott visually relates his extensive research on the famous old stagecoach that once ran the Lake Valley\, Hillsboro\, and Kingston stage line from 1889 to 1916. The cast of characters include J.W. Orchard and his infamous wife Sadie\, who among others\, were once co-owners of the stage line. \nThe Hillsboro Historical Society is hoping to work out a long-term loan agreement to have the stagecoach exhibited at the newly refurbished Black Range Museum in Hillsboro. The stagecoach is currently at Lincoln Historic Site in Lincoln\, N.M. \nDobrott\, past president and current board member of the Hillsboro Historical Society\, managed Ted Turner’s Ladder Ranch in south-central New Mexico for 24 years. He stayed on to be the ambassador for Ted Turner Expeditions (now Ted Turner Reserves)\, an eco-tourism business\, before retiring in Hillsboro.

SUMMARY:Culture Series: Abandoned History
DESCRIPTION:Researching and photographing New Mexico’s ghost towns and settlements is the subject of the next Culture Series presentation at the New Mexico Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum. \nThe Culture Series\, organized and presented by the Friends of the New Mexico Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum\, is at 7 p.m. on April 13 in the Museum’s Theater. Admission is free. \nThe title for this presentation is: Abandoned History: Uncovering The Stories of New Mexico’s Settlements & Ghost Towns. Presenters Bridget Harrington and Michael Moore are Albuquerque-based photographers and documentary historians working together as Enchanted Byways Photography. \nThey will talk about their process of researching these sites\, everything from using Google Earth to find the settlements to substantiating details using a variety of resources. Harrington and Moore will provide snapshots of four southern New Mexico communities and the stories left behind. \nBoth lifelong photographers who don’t make their primary living from photography\, Harrington is a graphic artist and marketing communications specialist and Moore is an engineer\, small engine pilot\, and son of a National Geographic photographer. They met on a web group for New Mexico photographers and quickly learned that they have a joint passion for not only photography and the state of New Mexico\, but also for history and socio-cultural mysteries. What started as a project to see the state grew into a quest to create compelling images of little-known places and share the buried stories behind them. \nUsing out-of-print books\, rail maps\, cemetery records\, and old newspapers that were published when these places were vital\, they strive to make history real\, relatable\, and relevant. Moore has spent over 2\,600 hours on research to create a pinned Google Earth map – with layers of settlements\, pueblitos\, and features like mines\, old rail lines\, scars from wagon paths\, and shipping points – that they use for navigation. In their work\, viewers can not only see what is left of places whose names are not widely known\, but also learn about the lives of the people who lived and worked there … everyday people of no prominence who nevertheless had roles in building the framework of the state we live in today. What they also find is that through the progress of history\, many things about humanity – family bonds\, faith\, the desire to create meaning in life\, necessity and ingenuity. You can find their work on Facebook\, under NM Byways\, and on Instagram under @enchantedbywaysphoto.

SUMMARY:Exhibit Opening: Grace in Motion: Photography by Nirmal Khandan
DESCRIPTION:The delicate beauty of hummingbirds\, their incredible movement\, and their critical work as pollinators are all captured in a new photography exhibit at the New Mexico Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum. \n“Grace in Motion” features photography by Nirmal Khandan. The show opens with a reception from 1:30-3:30 p.m. on April 15 in the Museum’s Arts Corridor. Admission to the opening reception is free. Regular Museum admission is required to see the rest of the Museum. \n“As a nature/wildlife photographer\, I have been sharing with my family\, friends\, and social media the joy and pleasure of creating photographs of hummingbirds\,” said Khandan. “Through this print exhibit\, I hope to share my photography with wider audiences fascinated by hummingbirds and their aerial acrobatics.” \nThe exhibit features 36 portraits of hummingbird species common to the region interacting with local flora. The photographs\, mounted on acrylic\, metal\, or canvas\, are for sale and Khandan said the names of those who purchase one of the prints at the reception will be put into a drawing to receive $25 off their purchase. He will draw two names. \n“I hope viewers will appreciate the up-close view of nature’s mutualism as the hummingbirds take just what they need from the flowers without harming them in any way\, while helping them with pollination\,” Khandan said. \nA civil engineering professor and Ed & Harold Foreman Endowed Chair at New Mexico State University\, Khandan began photographing birds in his native Sri Lanka and continued his hobby after moving to Las Cruces in 1998. \nWhile Khandan’s technical expertise and talent in composition are evident\, there’s much more to his work. Through this exhibit\, he also hopes to raise public awareness about the valuable ecosystem services that hummingbirds provide through pollination.

Students from Las Cruces Catholic Schools will be among the participants. \nThe bulto carried during the procession was created by Las Cruces artist Virginia Maria Romero. \nThe Museum will also have a plant sale as part of the festivities.

SUMMARY:Exhibit Opening: Beyond the Farm: Groundbreaking Agriculture
DESCRIPTION:The Farm & Ranch Museum is opening a new exhibit that uses the inspirational stories of seven remarkable individuals to explore the importance of agricultural research in an everchanging world. \n“Beyond the Farm: Groundbreaking Agriculture” opens in the north corridor of the Museum on June 2. A free\, opening reception with refreshments is planned for 1:30 to 4 p.m. \nFarmers and ranchers keep us fed\, clothed\, and sheltered. With fewer farmers\, less land in agriculture\, and more people to feed\, the demand to increase efficiency and productivity is clear. Through the support of land grant universities like New Mexico State in Las Cruces\, researchers have increased our quality of life and continue to work towards solving worldwide challenges like hunger and disease. \n“New Mexico State University has supported the groundbreaking research and discoveries of several agriculturalists and food scientists\,” said Farm & Ranch Museum Executive Director Heather Reed. “These people have a unique story to tell as they overcame challenges\, broke barriers\, and made contributions to agriculture that paved the way for future scientists and healthier generations.” \nThe Beyond the Farm exhibit shares the individual stories of a diverse group of people connected to New Mexico State University (NMSU).

Material fee to instructor: $5.\n\n\n\n\n\nColcha Embroidery\nJune 16\n10 am to 1 pm\nAs part of our Fiber Extravaganza\, a colcha embroidery workshop will be taught by two award-winning colcha artists from northern New Mexico\, Julia R. Gomez and Annette Gutierrez Turk. The kit includes fabric with the design imprinted\, yarn sufficient to complete the design\, needle\, and booklet on the technique.

There is no other surface so lively and receptive.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Art of Color\nJune 17\n10 am to Noon\nLearning how to use color effectively in an art endeavor adds excitement and cohesiveness to your work. Sally Quillin will cover the basics of using a color wheel\, creating a mood through use of color\, and choosing colors that go well together. You will also create a fun project to experiment with the color theories learned. Material fee to instructor: $5.\n\n\n\n\n\nTatting\nJune 17\n10 am to Noon\nShuttle tatting is an old form of lace making. Utilizing knots and picots\, tatters create a lace that can be made into almost anything. Tatting requires very minimal equipment and only a few different types of stitches\, so it is an economical and portable craft. In this introductory class\, Tiffany Ward will teach basic tatting: the double stitch\, rings and chains\, and joining stitches. Reading patterns and best types of thread will also be covered. All required materials will be provided. Students may wish to bring a pair of scissors and/or thread crochet hook\, though these are optional. Material fee to instructor: $6.

SUMMARY:Exhibit Opening: Wandering Reflections: Photography by David Turning
DESCRIPTION:New Mexico’s beautiful\, rugged scenery is preserved in the images of Las Cruces photographer David Turning. \n“Wandering Reflections” is an exhibition at the New Mexico Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum featuring 24 of Turning’s photographs. The show opens with an artist’s reception on Saturday\, December 16 from 1:30-3:30 p.m. Admission to the reception is free and refreshments will be provided. \nThe exhibit includes color and black-and-white images from Turning’s collection. His landscape photographs are rich with texture\, featuring everything from the roughness of rocks\, thorns\, and tree branches\, to the softness of clouds\, fog\, and sand dunes. \n Turning says he simply photographs landscapes and other things that interest him. He grew up in Alamogordo where his passion for photography sparked when he “borrowed” his dad’s 35mm camera. In 2017\, drawn by the expanded possibilities newer digital cameras provide\, he upgraded from his pocket digital camera. \nEmbracing digital image processing\, Turning mastered the intricacies of image manipulation and enhancement. Now retired\, he finds joy in exploring nature and seizing moments through his camera\, portraying them uniquely through his lens. \n Turning’s show will be on display in the museum’s Arts Corridor through April 6\, 2024.
