Chat With a Tour Guide
|
Fridays at 1 p.m.
$20 We are introducing our "low Impact" tour: visitors will be able to sit on the Oppenheimer House lawn and ask our docent/historian any questions they have. The "low impact" tours are on Fridays at 1:30pm. This tour is great for those who do not wish to walk the Guided Walking Tour path, or for those that prefer a more personal session in comparison to a group of strangers. People with audio, visual or physical limitations greatly benefit from this tour option because it is quiet, centered at one location, and is not traveling along any of the busy roads nearby. |
The Chat With a Tour Guide/Low Impact tours take place on the Oppenheimer House Lawn. Make sure to purchase your tickets at the Guest Cottage before making your way down.

Homestead Driving Tour
Try to imagine Los Alamos without its neighborhoods, shops, parks, and national laboratory. Imagine yourself back in a time of isolated log buildings, fields planted with pinto beans, families tending and protecting the crops, wagons laden with produce for the autumn trip to the valley before the winter sets in—everyday life for the homesteaders who lived here before the dawn of the nuclear age that brought Los Alamos to international attention.
This tour will introduce you to seven sites that indicate where seventeen of the homestead families established their farms. This tour is a collaborative project with Los Alamos County, the Historic Preservation Advisory Board, and the Los Alamos Historical Society.
