SUMMARY:Culture Series: Victorio Peak
DESCRIPTION:The monthly Culture Series returns to the New Mexico Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum in August and the first lecture focuses on one of the enduring mysteries in the region. \nHistorian Jim Eckles’ talk at 7 p.m. on Aug. 11 is called: “Victorio Peak: One Hundred Tons of Gold or Just One Hundred Tall Tales.” The presentation\, hosted by the Friends of the Museum\, will be in the Museum’s theater and admission is free\, although donations will be accepted. \nMilton Noss claimed he descended into Victorio Peak in Dona Ana County in 1937 and discovered a huge tunnel.  At the end of the tunnel were rooms with skeletons chained to the floor and gold bars stacked like firewood – the math led to claims of 100 tons of gold. In 1939\, he collapsed the entrance when it was dynamited to make it larger. Since then\, Noss himself\, various family members\, and a horde of others tried to regain access to the fabulous treasure. Newspaper accounts talk about billions of dollars in gold hidden there. \nThese searchers and claimants have been prevented from simply leveling Victorio Peak because\, after World War II\, the tiny mountain became part of White Sands Missile Range. Although the missile range considers treasure hunters as trespassers\, the Army has allowed four different searches at the peak. During the last one\, Noss descendants were there for several years. \nEckles will detail the legend and some of the efforts to find the gold and explain why they haven’t found anything. Eckles is a retiree from the missile range where he worked in the Public Affairs Office for 30 years. One of the most popular questions he received while conducting tours of the missile range was\, “Can we see Victorio Peak?” Because of the persistence of the 100-tons of gold legend\, Eckles included a whole chapter to it in his book “Pocketful of Rockets: History and Stories Behind White Sands Missile Range.” \nEckles has been on and inside Victorio Peak and dealt with many of the treasure claimants. He says it was a nice break from explaining Trinity Site or why there are roadblocks during missile tests.

SUMMARY:Exhibit Opening: The Color of Dreams: Photography by Wayne Suggs
DESCRIPTION:Wayne Suggs says “landscape photography is magical to me.” The renowned New Mexico photographer will share some of that magic with the Farm & Ranch Museum. \nThe opening for his show\, “The Color of Dreams\,” is Saturday\, Aug. 20 from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. The public is invited to meet Suggs and enjoy refreshments at the free opening reception in the Museum’s Arts Corridor. Regular admission is required to see the rest of the Museum: $5 for adults\, $4 for senior citizens\, and $3 for children 4 to 17. \nThe Color of Dreams exhibit features 25 of Suggs’ most-recent photographs that are included in his book of the same title. His images capture the beautiful\, rugged landscape of New Mexico. Whether the composition includes night skies\, cacti\, petroglyphs\, boulders\, or abandoned structures\, Suggs’ photographs have a distinct feel and look. \n“For 47 years\, I’ve held a camera in my hand\,” said Suggs\, who has lived his whole life in Las Cruces. “My love and passion for the art of photography has continued to grow with each passing year. To return in my mind to that moment in time\, and to remember the joy I felt when I pressed the shutter has made the photographs a part of who I am. I’m not in love with my photographs\, I’m in love with all the experiences\, the friends I’ve made\, and most of all\, being out in nature.” \nThe 2015 New Mexico Magazine Photographer of the Year has won numerous awards\, including The Oliver Award for his work in night photography with petroglyphs. His work can be seen in national\, state\, and local publications such as New Mexico Magazine\, The Reflector Astronomy Magazine\, New Mexico Travelers Guide\, and the Wilderness Society publications. He currently teaches photography for Muench Workshops. \n“These days\, teaching photography is a big part of my life\,” he said. “I get just as much joy from teaching someone how to capture an image as I do in taking my own. I still crave the solitude of the wild places\, but with my camera\, I feel I am sharing a small glimpse of the reverence I feel in the wild.” \nThe art show will be on display through Dec. 3\, 2022.
