Join Magoffin Home educator, Martín López, for an evening dive into the life of James Wiley “Don Santiago” Magoffin, a 19th-century borderlands merchant, political powerbroker, and cultural connector whose story shaped El Paso long before Texas knew what to do with him. This engaging, media-rich lecture brings his world to life with rare images, maps, and letters from the Magoffin Home archives. Discover how one man’s trade routes, family ties, and frontier diplomacy helped stitch together a region, and left a legacy still felt today.
