Brain Trust Lecture:

In 2025, the Casa Magoffin Compañeros worked to gather a collection of recipes from the Magoffin Home and its supporters and were able to publish an illustrated cookbook entitled “From the Homestead: Recipes Past and Present from the Magoffin Home and Beyond” as a fundraiser. Join the cookbooks author and researcher, Joseph Longo, for a brain trust lecture focused on the people whose recipes fill its pages. This talk will highlight the lives and contributions of over a dozen El Pasoans.
