| What is the Historical Foundation for Southeast New Mexico?
The Historical Foundation for Southeast New Mexico was incorporated in 1978 originally as the Chaves County Historical Foundation. From the beginning its sole purpose has been to receive and administer property and funds to make distributions for the preservation of the Historical Center for Southeast New Mexico, which is owned and operated by the Historical Society for Southeast New Mexico. What does the Foundation do?

Phone: 505-622-1176 Fax: 505-622-1176 Our museum and historical center is located at 200 N. Lea Ave., Roswell, New Mexico 88201. It is a beautiful prairie style house built in 1912, which gives a glimpse of a simpler time when life seemed to move at a much slower pace. The first floor is furnished and decorated as it would have been in 1912 to 1920. Many of the furnishings are the originals. Several rooms on the 2nd floor have been converted into displays and exhibits of early Roswell and the surrounding area. The archives are located in a new two story building next door. The archives contain over 11,000 photographs of the past, thousands of books and manuscripts, obituaries, newspaper articles dating back to the early 1900's and other memorabilia that depict the wild west days of the Pecos Valley. Ask us for photographs or information about Southeast New Mexico, Roswell, NM, Pecos Valley, and Chaves County. |
