KRWG Public Media will present a six-part series on New Mexico’s rural heritage in collaboration with New Mexico State University. The series will air on
KRWG News This Week, which is broadcast Saturdays at 5 p.m. on KRWG-FM 90.7. The series will air following the show’s regular segments covering the week’s top stories.
Each week, the series will highlight a different topic, beginning with “daily life” on February 20. The additional topics include: Education (February 27), Farming (March 6), Commerce (March 13), Religion & Health (March 20), and War (March 20).
The New Mexico Rural Heritage Oral History Project is a collaboration between anthropologists at New Mexico State University and the Oral History Program at the New Mexico Farm and Ranch Heritage Museum in Las Cruces. The goal of the project was to record the memories of New Mexicans who grew up in rural parts of the state in the first half of the twentieth century.

While this reschedule was not planned, the postponement of these exhibitions to July 2021 affords the museum time to further integrate the community into the individual shows through programing and workshops we will conduct over the next six months, said Marisa Sage, director of the museum.
With the new collaborations we are forming with 516 Arts a contemporary art museum in Albuquerque and other regional institutions, this postponement also gives us time to strengthen our partnerships in this region, broadening the reach of this exhibition across New Mexico and beyond.
