A Presentation By City of Santa Fe Historian Jose Garcia

Thursday, March 3
7:00 pm
Main Library Community Room

Do we really assume that 2010 was Santa Fe’s 400th Anniversary? Jose Garcia will present his own special approach to the telling of Santa Fe’s long and fascinating history in his second presentation at the Santa Fe Public Library as City Historian. The presentation will feature the persons that played special roles in creating the history that has made Santa Fe the City Different.

Some of those personalities include Juan de Oñate, Juan Martinez y Montoya and Cristobal de Oñate.

As a Northern New Mexico historian and genealogist, Mr. Garcia has researched the history of New Mexico extensively. He is particularly well-versed in the history of Santa Fe from the colonial era to the present and has completed research in local archives as well as archives in Spain.

This program is free and open to the public.
