History Attractions in Albuquerque

Albuquerque has no shortage of historic-themed things to do. Start at the heart of the city, Old Town, where Albuquerque was first established in 1706. Take in the historic San Felipe de Neri Church, Civil War cannons and adobe buildings that now house shops and restaurants. Next door is the Albuquerque Museum of Art and History, and there's no better place to learn about the Duke City's colorful past. The Indian Pueblo Culture Center is a must-stop to learn about the area's 19 Pueblo tribes. Across from the history museum on Mountain Road, the New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science explores New Mexico from the age of the dinosaurs to the age of the computer. Explore the ancient rock art at Petroglyph National Monument on Albuquerque's West Side to appreciate Albuquerque's Native American history first hand.
