Are you one of those who hardly ever travels south of River Road? You don’t know what you’re missing! Downtown is the place to be for history, architecture, museums, restaurants and a true pedestrian experience. Local historian and preservationist Ken Scoville shows how to navigate downtown, pinpoint the top attractions and strategies for making jury duty or paying our property taxes painless. Discover the geography that explains the historical development of the Old Pueblo from ancient times to military outpost to Territorial town and the historic zones that remain today to explore. The physical features, major events and cyclical changes that have led to the current downtown renaissance are discussed. Ken will deal with the basics like finding parking, City Hall, shopping and restaurants, all to make you a pro the next time you have out-of-town visitors and want to show off all the best places downtown!
