The 1960s in New Mexico were very different than other places in the U.S. I'm having such fun diving into old issues of New Mexico Magazine to share with everyone what our "Swinging Sixties" looked like!
Can't wait to see what you come up with!!

Okey-dokey. Here's what was going on in New Mexico in the 1960s. (These are all images taken from vintage editions of New Mexico Magazine.)
In 1960, not much had changed for cattle ranchers and we still had cowboys/cowhands heading out into the desert for round-up.
(Magazine image, leather, metal brads, and stickers.)
In 1962, folks were taking their winged station wagons for picnics at White Sands National Monument. The then-National Monument [now-National Park] sits at the southern-most point of White Sands Missile Range government land. At the northern-most point of the Missile Range is the Trinity site where Oppenheimer tested the atomic bomb.
(Magazine image, glitter, and stickers.)
By 1965, we were catching up with the rest of the country and heading out in VW buses. But we were headed to... manmade reservoirs in the middle of nowhere.
(Magazine image, glitter, Mod Podge Dimensional Magic, and stickers.)
The 1960s marked a boom in the production of Westerns - both in film and television. New Mexico was the perfect place to film as Hollywood didn't need to build sets, they simply needed to bring crews out to the high desert. The film featured in the April 1966 issue of New Mexico Magazine was And Then Miguel. (We are still a major location for film and television production and are often referred to as "TamaleWood.")
(Magazine image, rhinestones, and stickers.)

These are going in the mail today!
#1 - The first James Bond film, Dr. No, starring Sean Connery, was released in 1962
#2 - The Post Office Tower in London opened in 1964
#3 - Concorde was unveiled in Toulouse in 1967, and made its debut flight in 1969
#4 - Scooby-Doo was first aired on 13th September 1969
I hope these are OK - there was so much going on in the 1960s I struggled to choose! I enjoyed this one - I know a lot about the 1920s and 1930s, but not so much about the 1960s - it was really interesting learning about the decade. I didn’t know that Concorde was built during the 1960s, for example, or how long it took to develop!
