New Mexico

New Mexico Wanderings
This is my Dad's homepage and includes pictures and histories of sites throughout New Mexico. He's very progressive in his approach to presenting information, and it's to him that I owe my use of panoramas, image maps and the Library of Congress.

New Mexico Ghost Towns
This homepage is a travelogue of a visit to some of the more well-known ghost towns in New Mexico, including Madrid, Golden and Cerrillos. Each place is given a one-page description complete with photo. The homepage is hosted by PPSA Consulting in Los Alamos.

Ghost Towns of Sierra County
A one-page write-up, complete with photos, of the ghost towns in Sierra County. I had no idea some towns are now missing under Elephant Butte Lake and I live for this stuff. Guess I can scratch those off the list. This homepage is hosted by Sierra County.

Las Vegas, New Mexico
Las Vegas (ours, not theirs) is not a ghost town, but it is certainly a community worth a visit for anyone interested in New Mexico history or in historical architecture and the role it can play in a modern community. There are well over 100 buildings in Las Vegas listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This site is worth an extended visit, as is the town itself.
