My husband…read moreand I visit frequently from Denver, CO as a weekend getaway and I can't recall a single trip where this stop hasn't been on our list. The Museum is well situated in Old Town and an easy bop over from the shops. In fact, if you visit on a Sunday morning, the museum is free of charge and shares a parking lot with Old Town. You can have your parking validated by the museum and spend some time at both. The permanent exhibits at the museum are expertly organized and there's almost certainly something for everyone. You could easily spend the day learning about local New Mexico artists in many different formats, or enjoy the rotating exhibits. Even if a rotating exhibit doesn't sound particularly interesting, I highly encourage you to check it out. The curator at this museum does an absolutely fantastic job of keeping things engaging. There's a particularly profound permanent piece that I highly encourage one to find, which is a video accompanied by a teeter-totter. And don't miss the sculpture garden outside! The gift shop is worth a stop, too. Many of the museum gift shops that I've stopped in over the years are filled with, well, junk--items largely irrelevant to the visit. The Albuquerque Museum, though, showcases local artisans, local food, and so much more. I almost always leave with something from their Los Poblanos case and a new coffee table book about the southwest. Can't recommend this gem enough!

The Old San Isidro Church in Corrales, NM is one of those unique 'hidden' places. It really isn't hidden if you open your eyes and pay attention. The Old San Ysidro Church is a beautiful window into the history of rural New Mexico. Come visit. Attend one of the free (yes, FREE!) Speaker Series during 2025 at the Old Church managed by the Corrales Historical Society. Soak in the history just by being in this wonderful old church building.

It is open for "tours" - docents are available to point out features and answer questions (even when there are no current displays). And it is rentable for private events (suitable for a church setting). It is an absolutely beautiful setting for a wedding and can seat 150. Throughout the year there are art shows and monthly speakers - all free to attend. There is also a small "gift shop": the docents run a table with books, cards, and items baring San Ysidro and the scene of his miracle - an angel ploughing his farm land for him.

It's hard to think of it as a Mecca for shopping but I love finding one-of-a-kind goodies and this is the right area to do it in! The restaurants also are a must! Chains are nowhere to be found! You'll find locally owned, quality fare with fresh ingredients made with the heart and the soul. There are several farms in Corrales that sell apples, chile, and other fruit and veggies. Anything you want fresh can be found fresh and you better believe a lot of the restaurants utilize those fresh ingredients as well! If you love local events and culture, there is always something going on in town, whether it is a parade or a farmers' market. There is also an old church that is now a museum. Also be sure to visit all the award winning wineries!

The $5700 taxes I pay fon my property does not cover police protection and actually the chracter assasignation they do is very damaging. If you are a senior they might get the court to require you get a mental health evaluation and get admitted to a psych unit and drugged to fully discredit you when they tell the judge that you imagined your coins were stole and the police officer who took the report in front of the empty safe is fired and does not sign the report. Or they might file a phoney case in court and not serve you and get a arrest warrnt when you do not show up for arraignment. Then wait two years to arrest you as if you had been tried and found guilty and not shown up for your arrest. They did that to me and refused to let me pay $100 bail that I had with me and kept me in MVD for four days when I was 78 years old. It is a power trip. But when the Police Chief has never been to an academy and does not get annual inservcie I guess he is oblivious to the laws that pertiain to Constituional Rights. It is a darn power trip when they protect the thieves who rob you and tell your neighbors they have a thick file on you. It is so much worse than this. There were some vibs I felt when looking for my property 28 years ago that something was off. When I had over $40K gold and silver coins stolen from my safe and saw thieves leave over our shared fence and the investigation closed the next day you gotta know something in wrong. The same people refuse to write a report when you car engine under 49K miles, a Saab 9-5 is replaced with a much older one and the paibt is blisterd on hood, roof and trunk and burglar wires pulled out from the dash. So much more that I will testify in a court of law, if you can find one in New Mexico. They play a mean games that organized crime are experienced at. I have been told about others suffering similiar treatment, so if you wanna talk you can find my number on the internet.

The staff is very friendly and helpful, the place is squeaky clean and cool, there are clean bathrooms and a water fountain onsite, with plenty of parking in the lot. IMPORTANT NOTE: This place is hard to find on maps and most GPS systems. The address does not work. The official mailing address does not work on GPS systems or even on a map, its a MailIng Address only: 3650A Highway 528 Rio Rancho, New Mexico 87144 Google Maps on the website does not work, Google does not accurately place this location at all, do not use it. This has been verified by all the visitors that use Google Maps or Droid phones/Tablets Apple Maps on your Mac, iPhone or iPad do work precisely, but when you get there you will need to actually look at the screen to see that the building is a block east of 528 (i.e. you cant see that the building is not actually on 528 and the streets are not marked), just drive down the narrow (unmarked) street and watch the Map app, you'll see the building on the right side. J&R Vintage Auto Museum really is a block South of 550, and a block East of 528 in Rio Rancho near the intersection of 528 and 550. The official mailing address is on 528 but the building is not there, the building actually on a small street a block away from that map address. In reality its close to the intersection of. Christopher and Gabby Lane but neither one of those show up on any maps. The best way to find it if you don't have an iPhone is to simply use the GPS coordinates 35.323084,-106.571464 If you type that (accurately) in the search window of your iPhone or iPad's Maps app then it will place you right in the parking lot for the museum. If you can't do that then map your way to Montoya Road and 528 which is the the nearest major intersection that actually shows up on most maps. Turn East on Montoya Road then take the first street on the left then make the forst right. The building is on the right. http://www.jrvintageautos.com
