What to See & Do in Santa Fe 

There are so many things to see and do in Santa Fe, we couldn’t possibly list them all! Here are a few suggestions:

Join Bruce Held, retired CIA clandestine operations officer, Chief of Counterintelligence at Sandia National Laboratories and author of "A Spy's Guide to Santa Fe and Albuquerque" (UNM Press, 2011) for an intriguing history lesson and a walking tour to sites on and near the Santa Fe Plaza, including the hideout of Trotsky's assassin and the bridge where atomic spy Klaus Fuchs passed along detailed designs of America's bombs to the KGB.  Tour participants will meet in the Stiha Room of the Hotel LaFonda.  This free event is a specially arranged preconference activity for our conference attendees, family, and friends.  Keep this event in mind when you're booking your flights! 

Enchanted Evening in New Mexico, Tuesday, September 20, 4 p.m. On Tuesday, join us for a walking tour of Pueblo de San Ildefonso, established 400 years ago along the Rio Grande.
