Event Details

 

A Second Chance at Life - From the late 19th century until 1940 tuberculosis was the leading cause of death in the United States. Many people that came west seeking treatment of the disease decided to stay. The ones who survived contributed greatly to the vitality of Santa Fe and the state of New Mexico. 

 

Join Ana Pacheco, the former Santa Fe City Historian (2015–2017), for her monthly presentations as she delves into four centuries of Santa Fe history. Through her thirty-two years as a writer and historian Pacheco has created books, articles, blogs, videos, and five-star walking tours of her beloved hometown. In the last three decades she has pieced together the puzzle that makes Santa Fe the most historically significant city in the U. S.
