Fort Sumner is a few minutes away with the "official" Billy the Kid's gravesite along with some other Wild West & Manifest Destiny activities.
Roswell is the capitol for UFO phenomena, but an ideal base to explore the Carlsbad Caverns, Historic NM town of Lincoln/Ruidoso, Alamogordo & the Nuke Bomb Testing Facilities (White Sands).
The park has a bunch of military related weapons highlighted by the F-111 (Fighter Plane), tanks, placards, memorial for locals and the such. It's just a nice place to rest, stretch legs, walk around if you are the area. Why you would come out here is anyone's guess since it's a good detour from I-40.
