Historical Society for Southeast New Mexico
Housed in a 1912 cattle rancher's home, the Historical Society for Southeast New Mexico offers a regional history museum. Many of the original furnishings still fill the rooms, and the prairie style house contains a fully recreated turn-of-the-century kitchen. Artifacts of note include an Edison Amberola phonograph and a buggy foot warmer, and exhibits include information on famous and infamous regional figures. The archives, located next door to the museum, contain over 11,000 photographs, thousands of books and manuscripts, obituaries, newspaper articles dating back to the early 1900's, and other Pecos Valley memorabilia.
The society offers museum exhibits, archival access, and a self-guided historic district tour.
