But mostly I went for the annual art and wine festival which turned out really nice! $15 entry for sod at each winery. Lots of other booths with goodies/ I liked the chocolate tastings! I even bought a pecan pie! I heard it was held the first weekend in august each year. I will be back! Loads of fun with my friends.

This was a few years ago but it was a surprisingly thorough and meaningful exhibit. The presenter…read moregave a clear, evidence-based walkthrough of the Shroud, the Sudarium of Oviedo, and the historical timeline connecting them. The explanations were direct, logical, and grounded in actual forensic and historical data not hype. My kids stayed engaged the entire time, and it sparked real conversation afterward. Small museum, but the depth of knowledge here is excellent. Highly recommended for anyone interested in Christian history, science, or apologetics.

It is a lot of historical history when it comes to train models. I definitely learn a lot. Interested people who work there but have a lot of fun. It's definitely something to check out

This is a cool little spot, but for little kids, they may not be interested. The outdoor tiny train…read moreride is cool, but only if weather permits. Quite an impressive model lay out. Entry for adults is $6, and $10 if you add the train ride. Younger children are free. It's a non profit, I get it, but for $6, it is a little value lacking. This museum is best suited for children more school age (5+) as it is minimal hands on. The train ride is delightful and for all ages.

Enchanting Crafts specializes in hand-crafted works from local artists.

Numerous artists show their unique works, so something is sure to catch your eye or your heart. The shop includes a wide variety of decorative items: soaps, baskets, jewelry, holiday decor, and much more. I'm always so happy to buy a one-of-a-kind piece made by a real person, a neighbor, even though I don't know who they are. Please inquire about a local artist/craftsperson, Liz Block. Her items are among my favorites.

This is a 590-seat live venue that runs a regular season of performances as well as special…read moreperformances and fundraisers through the year. The theater can also be rented out for special events. Alamogordo Music Theatre performs musicals here twice a year. The building was originally a movie theater, that has been converted and gradually improved over the years. The technical equipment (sound, lighting, stage) is somewhat bare-bones but adequate. All the seats are good, but the center orchestra seats toward the front are the best. The theater also puts on a series of tailgate concerts every summer at the New Mexico Museum of Space History. Ticket prices are reasonable ($10-$40), in part because the theater is a non-profit and is subsidized by generous local financial support.

One of the most interesting exhibits was about Chihuahita (the Mexican part of town) and the Dudley School in Chihuahita (a segregated school for blacks and Mexicans). Their prize possession is the (unofficial) 47-star US flag created in 1912 when New Mexico was admitted as a state. The gift shop has a vast array of local history books along with some more traditional tourist items. The building is a historic adobe (it previously held the Plaza Pub) and there are some spots inside where you can view the original adobe walls.

For the size of the town, this museum was excellent! We were unfortunately stuck in Alamogordo for…read moreover a week because of car trouble and looking for things to do in-town. This museum has SOO MUCH information! It takes you through the history of the area: from BC all the way to present day practically. There is a huge emphasis on the railway because, well that's what gave birth to the region. But there are also tons of knick knacks from bygone time periods that you often cant get so close to at bigger museums. You can see exactly how people lived in the 1800's and 1900's. They also have a large selection of stories and pictures from locals, as they try to flesh out the history of their immediate town and surroundings. Alot of love went into the museum. It's currently $3 a ticket, and I'd say you definitely get your $3 worth!
