Ken's New Mexico History Museum Tours &

Tips to Being a Successful Docent


Museum Tours

I completed a 7 month Guide/Docent class at the New Mexico History Museum in May 2019 and am now giving tours at the Museum and the Palace of the Governors. I even made an online study guide for the course.I am usually there on Tuesday and/or 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 and see about New Mexico history first hand! These are my virtual tours of Telling New Mexico and the Palace of the Governors.
