Strickfaden was born and raised in Los Alamos. As a former school teacher and with a passion for showing off the depth and breadth of Los Alamos history and its setting in northern New Mexico, she launched her small van-tour company Buffalo Tours in 1985.

Being associated with Los Alamos Historical Society and other community entities gives her the opportunity to spend time with published historians, researchers and movers and shakers. It’s still her joy to personally meet and share the Los Alamos experience with visitors

Her Atomic City Van Tour departs most days at 1:30 p.m. from in front of the Bradbury Science Museum at 15th Street and Central Avenue.
