WHEELS Museum 1100 Second Street SW
Phone: 505 243-6269

From the author: This account is based on the men and women who actually did the day-to-day railroading - the train and engine crews, the mechanical forces, the water service men, the telegraphers and dispatchers, the clerks and depot staff. It is about the trackmen who fought heat and blizzards to keep the trains operating, and the thousands of others who came before me. It is about the homesteaders, the small towns that sprang up and eventually died off, and the importance of the Cut-off in the development of eastern New Mexico. It is written from the view of a railroader

Speaker Event
Donatella Davanzo
“Route 66 Connected”
Saturday, March 29, 2025 at 10 AM
WHEELS Museum 1100 Second Street SW
Phone: 505 243-6269
Admission is Free, but donations are gladly accepted.

Dr. Donatella Davanzo, Italian American cultural anthropologist, is a scholarly photo 
ethnographer and instructor of visual anthropology.

“Route 66 Connected” by Dr. Donatella Davanzo is a multimedia exposition that proposes an innovative evaluation of the historic American highway on the eve of its centennial. By examining existing original resources in operation along the contemporary road in New Mexico, the presentation will enrich the public interest in the “Mother Road” history through a detailed photographic documentation and personal interviews. A variety of narratives concerning the heritage of Route 66 will uncover how the road still conveys its significance and its multicultural nature as a legacy that preserves the distinctive cultural richness of New Mexico as well.
