Pecos, NM:– Pecos National Historical Park invites you to for a one-time showing of Madame Curie featuring Oscar-award winning actress Greer Garson on Friday, September 7^th at 7:00 p.m at the Vista Grande Public Library.
 
Madame Curie (1943) is an American biographical film that depicts the story of Polish-French physicist Marie Curie in 1890s Paris. The film was nominated for seven Academy Awards, including Outstanding Motion Picture, Best Actor and Best Actress. 
 
The Pecos National Historical Park that we know today exists in large part due to the generosity and support of Greer Garson Fogelson and her husband Col. E.E. “Buddy” Fogelson. The Fogelsons owned and operated the Forked Lightning Ranch for 50 years. In 1991, Garson sold her ranch parcel to The Conservation Fund, which donated it to the National Park Service. She and her husband were honored with the Conservation Service Award, the Department of the Interior’s highest civilian award.
 
Admission to the movie is free. Please note, this program will take place at the Vista Grande Public Library, which is located at 14 Avenida Torreon, Santa Fe, NM 87508. Space is limited, so please arrive early.
