This week on Voices of Taos, magazine editor Ellen Miller-Goins is joined by Fritz Davis — musician, local historian, and longtime owner/editor of the Red River Miner — which, like so many small-town newspapers, is no longer printing.
After cutting his teeth as a performer in Kansas, Fritz moved to Red River in 1989 and became a fixture on local stages and in community life. He’s helped champion and chronicle the town’s traditions — from Mardi Gras in the Mountains to Oktoberfest — and shares Red River’s story in talks with the Historical Society.
This year marks Red River’s 130th anniversary, as the town was platted in 1895, making it an especially fitting moment to reflect on its history.
