Georgia O'Keeffe: Welcome Center, Abiquiu

We spent 19 years in NM, and our favorite area is Georgia Okeefe country! We find that not many NM tourists get this area on their list of places to visit. This time we stopped in at the visitor center in Abiquiu and we' were greated by helpful staff. A 25 minute long video was excellent - it highlights the Lopez family who worked for Miss Okeefe back in the 1970s, and their memories of her. .Quite personal and revealing of her as a great person, not just a great artist! Several historical exhibits at the center we're also great to see. We previously had done the tour of her house up the hill in Abiquiu and it is well worth the admission price. You have to book about a week in advance as spots fill up...A shuttle tskes you up to the house from the visitor center. The tour through her home and garden is soulful and memorable. We will do it again.

Unfortunately it was closed by the time we got there. It's landscaped nicely. I took pictures around it. Closes at 4pm. Did some shopping next door.
