Capping the Center's outreach and public information campaign for In Search of the Coronado Trail, the four Coronado Road Shows are free and open to the public.

The locations for the road shows were selected to allow people living in the areas of the possible Coronado route who may have Coronado-era artifacts to bring items for identification by archaeologists and historians. In addition to viewing artifacts, scholars will make presentations about the Coronado expedition.

The Coronado Road Show dates and locations are:

		October 1, 2004 Willcox, Arizona Willcox Community Center
		October 2, 2004 Lordsburg, New Mexico Lordsburg Civic Center
		October 15, 2004 Springerville, Arizona American Legion Post 30
		October 16, 2004 Reserve, New Mexico Lost Frontier Museum

The times for The Coronado Road Shows are the same for all locations:
