This was a really great museum covering all kinds of stuff from Deming and Luna county history. The Mimbres pottery collection was a highlight as well as the old main street setup with historic businesses. The upstairs Deming high exhibit was cool too. I think the crazy variety is a big strength of this museum. I would highly recommend visiting!!
Very nice museum. Lots of items so see. So Interesting. Free
It was a great tour through the museum. This is my second time experience the museum. I was able to see more things that I missed the first time when I didn't seem interested taking my niece and my cousin. I sure did. Appreciate it a lot more this time.
