  • Roswell New Mexico: The ULTIMATE Guide! Art, History, & Nature!
    Roswell New Mexico has so much more to do than I ever imagined! I recently spent a long weekend here and we explored everything there is to do in this town of Southeastern New Mexico.
    Whether your interest lies in history, art, nature, birdwatching, legos, or UFO's, Roswell New Mexico has something for you! There are multiple wildlife refuges, art and history museums, the prestigious New Mexico Military Institute and even the 2nd largest mozzarella factory in the world!! All in this small town in SouthEastern New Mexico with a population of less than 50,000!
    For people that come through and only see the UFO attractions, I think they are missing out!
    For more Detail on the UFO Attractions, the 1947 Roswell Incident and the International UFO Museum see: • Roswell, New Mexico A...
    For more information on the locations mentioned in this video see below:
    The Anderson Museum of Contemporary Art and their Residency Program see: www.rair.org/
    The Miniatures and Curious Collections Museum see:

    ____________
    Shout out to Nancy Fleming who was working at the Miniature Museum the day we visited, but she is also the Director at the Anderson Museum of Art, and a local artist herself!
    SPECIAL THANKS and MUCH LOVE to RuDell Russell Quinn and Kandi Collier for hosting me on my stay in Roswell!
    A huge thanks as well to the volunteer at the Historical Society Jane Nunez Anglin for donating her time and love of history to us for this video!!!

    I always wanted to visit Roswell. I love places like this. Wonderful information, videography and interviews with the locals. I never knew about all the great things to see and do besides the UFO stuff. Also love that vintage player piano. Thanks for sharing and have a great week.

    Famous Dallas Cowboys quarterback Roger Staubach attended NMMI prior to attending the U.S. Naval Academy where he won the Heisman Trophy. Yup, I'm a Cowboys fan , don't hold it against me LOL.
    GREAT JOB ON THE VIDEO!

      Yes! With as many Dallas fans as there are in NM I totally should’ve mentioned him! ButI had no idea he also went to the Naval Academy ! Thank you again for watching!! 👍😀

    As a native Roswellalien I have to say that you did an excellent job representing my hometown. I moved away in 93 and i learned a few new things about Roswell from this video.

    Roswell was a fun stop. Always love a big compilation. I heard that CZcams likes these longer type videos better. Would love to see what you think after a few months.
    Didn’t realize there was so many cool museums there. How long were you there? Your voiceovers are so good. A list countdown would be perfect for this content. So cool you got some interviews. Nice Owen Wilson fun fact. For 27 min, it felt like 7 min.

    • @SwiftyTravels
      @SwiftyTravels  Před 5 měsíci +1

      thanks! We were there Sat-Mon, with a full agenda! I loved talking with the folks from there. The museums were so impressive. The only problem with the longer content, is I'm going to run out of content! Time for another trip!! 😂😂

    I lived there for 15 years. If you're not a retiree just looking for a chill place to live, it's boring. We had fun in the 90s but it usually consisted of cruising, drinking and getting high. Bottomless lakes was also fun. Other than that, pretty boring place in my opinion. Not a bad place. Just not much going on.

    • @SwiftyTravels
      @SwiftyTravels  Před měsícem

      I get it- Bottomless Lakes is the one place I didn’t get a chance to visit ~ as a visitor I was surprised at the variety for such a small place! Thx for checking it out!

    Oh dear, these old puffs who present these representations, really do amuse. As for realistic true representations, I'm not so sure. I'm not one of the gullible brigade, of which America is so full. Go ahead, enjoy and fill your head with as much of the nonsense to be had from these stories, it will fulfill, and constantly re-fill and replenish the vivid imaginations of the gullible, of which there are so many in this US of A.

      What are you going on about? She highlighted some things about Roswell, that’s it. Why is that triggering you so badly? Roswell is a neat little town, she didn’t misrepresent it, and who is gullible? 🤦
