To encourage walking and enjoying the historic buildings in Downtown Las Cruces, the City’s Community Development Department has begun conducting “Heart and History” walking tours on the first and third Friday of every month.

The walking tours are from noon to 12:40 p.m. on those Fridays. The tours will depart the west side of City Hall at 12:10 p.m.

In June, July and August walks will be from 7 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. to avoid the heat of the day.

There is no cost to participate in any of the walks, and the public is always welcome. But individuals in the public will need to sign a release waiver before joining.

From the west side of City Hall, the tours will travel a route that will go north to Albert Johnson Park, cross west across north Main Street and then south on Main Street to Amador Avenue. The tour will then head west for a short distance on Amador before turning north onto Water Street.

The tour will then conclude by going east on Griggs Avenue and then north on Church Street before returning to the west side of City Hall.

Eight stops along the tour will include the tile mosaics and murals at Albert Johnson Park, at the southeast corner of Main Street and Picacho Avenue; the former Mama B’s building at the southwest corner of Main Street and Picacho Avenue; the Branigan Cultural Center, 601 N. Main St.; the Rio Grande Theatre, 211 N. Main St.; the Amador Hotel, 180 W. Amador Ave.; the former Doña Ana County Courthouse, 251 W. Lohman Ave.; Plaza Las Cruces, 100 N. Main St., which was the former site of the historic Hotel Rouault before it was demolished in 1971; and, finally, the Doña Ana County Municipal Courts Building, 135 E. Griggs Ave., which also served for years as Las Cruces’ main post office.
