Tours Of Old Town














Outlaws, lawmen & Ghosts

Dead man talking ~~~ dead men DO tell tales!

Do you like Ghosts? Do you like Magic? Then you’ll love the interactive 90-minute tour hosted by the character of Albuquerque's first Town Marshal, Milton Yarberry! This unique experience features exciting true stories of Old Town's ghosts, mysteries, & history blended with unbelievable magical effects.

When Yarberry comes back to “visit”, you’ll find him almost as quick with his remarks, as he was with his six shooter. A bit short tempered, we don’t let him wear his hardware, but that won’t stop him from occasionally shooting off his mouth..

Rest in Peace

Milton J. Yarberry was exactly the type of man who laid foundations for the American West, pursuing his personal obsessions all the way to his date with a noose. Truly a subject of gallows humor. A definite MUST SEE in Albuquerque!

As you journey through the heart of the historic area, you realize that the art galleries, restaurants and retail shops of today were once wild saloons, rough gambling halls and numerous "houses of negotiated affection." Hear how corruption, scandal and lawlessness plagued Albuquerque with the coming of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad in 1880, bringing the need for law and order.

Now you can experience Old Town through the eyes of Constable Milton J. Yarberry who, after being convicted for murder himself, met his fate at the end of a hangman's noose in 1883...

Outlaws, Lawmen & Ghosts

We took the Magic Ghost Tour on Friday night March 7th. This was our first Ghost Tour and was really our first tour of any kind in Old Town. Our guide was Sheriff Milton Yarberry played by Blake. We loved the magic and we loved the tour. So much so in fact, we are planning to take friends and attend as many of the other different tours as we can.

Great Fun and very informative. Wayne is a native of Albuquerque and learned a great deal more about Old Town.

Thanks for a great tour! We have invited Blake to perform a magic show at Illusions Magic Parlor which is the live show venue at the magic shop.

Best Wishes for continued success.

I attended the "Magic Tour" of Old Town led by Milton Yarberry two weeks ago and I found it to be very informative, fascinating, and fun. The man who played Milton was extremely entertaining and I learned a lot about Old Town history that I'd never before heard or seen, despite having lived here 56 years! I'd recommend it to everyone as a great way to spend an evening and learn about some local colorful history!

Thanks,

Steve G., Albuquerque

I recently took the Milt Yarberry tour and just wanted to let you all know how thoroughly I enjoyed it. I'm from Albuquerque and thought I knew all about the area, but the tour provides lots of fascinating historical info & anecdotes. I also found the magic routines that punctuate the tour highly entertaining, and that Yarberry character is a stroke of genius!

Thanks,

JH, Albuquerque
