Meet Lincoln
One of the reasons I fell in love with Lincoln (and NM in general) were the people. Because of this, I wanted to do an informal interview series of the folks who make Lincoln so great. I know not everyone can afford to visit my favorite town in NM, so I thought I'd bring them to you.
We are starting with 8 episodes, but there will be more once I can get back to Lincoln to do them. 2020 has been a hard year for travel, so do stay tuned for more episodes once I can go back to visit my home away from home. Until then, enjoy these 8 episodes of the wonderful family that is Lincoln County. -Tamsin :)
P.S. You may notice a word bleeped out here and there. Those are not swear words...they are the taboo words of YouTube (such as COVID, Coronavirus, and Pandemic). If those words show up in a video on YouTube, your video can get flagged and not found by those searching. So we had to remove them.
Meet Lincoln
Episode 1 - Tiffanie Owen
Tiffanie not only works for the Lincoln Monument, teaching classes to children of all ages about the history of the area, but she is also a sincerely talented and accomplished artist. Join me as I speak with her about her art and her time working in Lincoln.

Episode 3 - Bill & Bev Strauser
(The Dolan House)
Bill and Bev have run The Dolan House in Lincoln for as long as I've been coming to Lincoln to do research. Not only is this place the historic home of Jimmy Dolan, but it is a B&B (only one room though), and dining room that serves the best lunch in town! Join me as I speak to them about how they ended up in Lincoln, and what owning the Dolan House has meant to them as they now look to sell the property and fully retire.
Meet Lincoln
Episode 4 - Annie LeMay
(Annie's Little Sure Shot Coffee House & Art)
Annie runs a store in Lincoln that carries the best coffee/tea in the area! Not only that, the store carries wonderful art/books by local artists/writers.

(Lincoln After Dark and Lincoln County Paranormal)
Marla is one of the artists who reside near Lincoln whose work you can find in a booth every time you attend an event.

This is a continuation of the previous video. We split it in two to make them more digestible length videos. Where Part I focuses more on the paranormal work and reenactment work they do, this section will speak more on Billy the Kid.
Meet Lincoln
Episode 8 - Beau Lucas
Beau lives in Lincoln and is honestly the helping hands of the town. If anyone requires help with anything, he is there to assist. I'm pretty sure that Lincoln events would be way harder without him there to lend a hand to anyone who needs it. Taking all of that into consideration I highly recommend you join me as I talk to him about living in Lincoln and being a member of the Lincoln community.
