"This museum is small, about the size of a large school gym. It had some interesting exhibits on two floors. Great interactive area where children can dress up, climb on a wagon, have a picture on a saddle, "cook" over a campfire, or play house in a cabin. Many wagons and horse-related exhibits. Some..." amazing pictures. Don't miss the posters about the history of toilets- they are in the hall around the downstairs bathrooms.

"Is this place huge? No. It's small. As a New Mexican, I already knew everything that's on display when it came to the pictures and information and everything but for someone who isn't familiar, it's a pretty cool stop. We stopped on our honey moon and the lady that was at the desk was extremely frie..."ndly. We ended up talking to her for about twenty minutes before we got on our way. This place isn't only about Billy the Kid but has parts of other New Mexican history. They also have a section where local art is displayed. Some is for sale. The cool part was that it wasn't only adult art, it was children's art. Nice stop.

"Loved the history on the horses that helped shape the American West outside the museum! Inside, the museum takes you on a journey through time, introducing you to the different native and eventual settlers in the West, their influences, clashes and resulting current culture of today. Be sure to see ..."the amazing Native American collection at the museum!
