I went to the Silver City Museum for the first time and was thoroughly surprised at all of the history this city has to offer. It was opened in 1967, and holds nearly 20,000 objects that chronicle the history of southwestern New Mexico.
Of the historic articles on display, the different kinds of antique type writers are my favorite.
Also very interesting are all of the old newspaper articles and books. It is so intriguing to know what was important to the masses in our past.
Today you'd never see an article with this title...
The Silver City Museum is located at 312 W. Broadway, just 4 blocks west of Hwy 90. It is open Tuesday through Friday from 9:00-4:30, Saturdays and Sundays from 10:00-4:00, and closed on Mondays. Admission is $3 per person with a suggested donation. Guided group tours are available through reservation.
