The Lincoln County Centennial Tour is a two day guided tour.

Day 1: Join the Carrizozo Woman’s Club for brunch at 10am in their historic site building where 93-year-old Carrizozo historian Johnson Stearns will share some stories of early times from his own experiences. Then you’ll move on to the Carrizozo Heritage Museum exhibits of old-time ranch life. Formerly an old ice plant, this is a interesting but “cool” place. Take a short drive down 12th Street to 408 Gallery for original and local art. Next visit Roy’s Gift Gallery and Olde Time Ice Cream Parlor for a sample from an original fountain built in 1908. Day one will conclude with a visit to Capitan’s Smokey Bear Museum and Park and then a guided tour of Spencer Theater.

Day 2: Start off taking a drive to Coe Ranch as Historian Drew Gomber explains the history about the land and the Town of Lincoln, real Billy the Kid Country. The final stop is Fort Stanton for a real New Mexican lunch, a presentation about the Fort and a guided tour of their sites.
