NM True TV - Tularosa Basin Museum of History
Buried video games and Billy the Kid. Maybe not the most natural of combinations, but that blend is just one of the wonders contained within this Alamogordo museum. Even the building itself is a story. So much of our country's history wound through this region that you might need to set aside some extra time to absorb it all.
