    The Deming Luna Mimbres Museum building
    was originally built as a National Guard
    Armory, completed in 1916 just two months
    after Pancho Villa’s raid on nearby Columbus.
    Before it was finished, military troops slept there
    while the U.S. was recruiting troops to defend
    America’s border with Mexico. Today, the
    museum is Deming’s treasure, housing extensive
    collections of Mimbres pottery, antique autos,
    quilts, dolls, and period-furnished rooms. The
    Santa Fe Railroad donated the paint for the
    Harvey House exhibit so it would be true-to-life
    in authentic color.

History
Deming was founded in 1881, but its history stretches back nearly
a millennium, to the flourishing era of the Mimbres civilization. In
villages along the Mimbres River, the Mimbres Indians lived, farmed and
produced their world-famous pottery, painted with distinctive
birds and animal figures. They vanished in the 13th century, following
the arrival of Spanish settlers. After the Americans came to the Southwest
around 1800, Deming was known as a notorious Wild West
town, where outlaws were banished after they’d been captured
elsewhere. Nonetheless, in the 1850s, Deming became a stop on
the famous Butterfield Stage Trail, the world’s longest stagecoach line,
which carried passengers and U.S. mail between St. Louis and San
Francisco. More fame came in 1881, when Deming was established
as a prominent railway town, named for Mrs. Mary Deming Crocker, the
wife of railroad baron Charles Crocker. Here, the Southern Pacific met
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, thus completing America’s
second transcontinental railroad. Over the years, Presidents Hayes,
Harrison, McKinley, Roosevelt and Truman all were met with a grand
welcome at the Deming train depot, which sits across the street from Pit
                                           Park. Today, Deming is a vibrant
                                           community in the heart of the
                                           Old West, known for its outdoor
                                           adventures, world-class museum,
                                           award-winning wineries, annual
                                           events and more.

    Downtown
    Walking Tour
     For a time-traveling adventure, head out on downtown Deming’s self-
     guided Historic Landmark Walking Tour. Of the city’s 37 buildings with
     historical significance, 16 are on the State Historic Register, and four are
     on the National Register of Historic Places. The tour will lead you to 16
     of these architectural treasures spread out over four city blocks.
     Begin at the Deming Luna Mimbres Museum, built in 1916 as a red-
     brick National Guard Armory. Across the street lies the famous Custom
     House, built circa 1889 as the home and office of Judge Seaman Field,
     U.S. Customs Officer, with its long portico Greek columns. As you
     continue the tour, you’ll stroll past a classic 19th-century brick hotel,
     a turn-of-the-century pool hall and restaurant, and a Masonic Hall
     built in 1917. You can’t miss Morgan Hall, the city’s original City Hall
     and fire station, and the Deming Arts Center, where an original metal
                                          vault is now an office. Your journey
                                          ends at the imposing Luna County
                                          Courthouse, which dates to 1910
                                          and is designed in the style of 19th-
                                          century Midwest public buildings.

One of the most striking buildings on your walking tour, the
Luna County Courthouse was designed by W.B. Corwin and
completed in 1910. It features a clock tower, a Greek portico
and a jail built with decorative brick. The courthouse was the
site of the controversial trials of the Villistas, Pancho Villa’s
men who fought the Americans in the 1914 Columbus raid.
The entire courthouse complex is listed on the National
Register of Historic Places.

    The museum’s Mimbres Indians Pottery Room is
    a treasure trove, filled with pots of all sizes made
    between 950 and 1200 A.D. by the Mimbres
    Indians, who were among the area’s earliest
    residents. Many of the pots are black on white,
    with interiors painted with animals and bird
    figures, but some are red on white. Amazingly,
    the Mimbres painted their intricate designs with
    brushes they created out of chewed yucca leaves.

Deming Luna Mimbres
        Museum

  Step inside the Deming Luna Mimbres Museum, and you’ll be
  surrounded by a remarkable history of place. The fascinating collections
  here chronicle the art and culture of an ancient civilization, as well as the
  everyday lives of those who lived in Deming across the centuries. You’ll
  see world-famous pottery made by the Mimbres people, who lived in the
  region nearly a thousand years ago and today are world-renowned for
  their culture and craftsmanship. Moving through history, visit period-
  furnished rooms, view an antique car collection and art gallery and
  see displays of china, crystal, teapots, Depression-Era glass and other
  household items. Some 1,000 dolls make up the antique doll and related
  toys collection, spanning more than a century in time. The Western
  Area reflects cowboy life and includes a jail cell that dates to 1918. The
  Diamond-A Chuckwagon, built in Deming circa 1900, was used at
  cattle roundups for the Victoria Land Cattle Co. The reproduction of
  Deming’s railroad station and Harvey House restaurant, which opened
  in the 1880s, features a life-like Harvey Girl greeting would-be diners at
  the front door. Don’t miss the geode, gem and mineral exhibit featuring
  discoveries from around the world, though the mammoth tusk and tooth
  were found in nearby gravel pits.

                                                                                  5

    The Great American Duck Race
    began in1980, when a group of

    community decided duck racing
    would be just the ticket. Over the
    years, this celebrated event has
    grown, bringing some 10,000
    people together—residents and
    visitors alike, who often return
    year after year, cementing friendships
    among people as well as fine
    feathered friends.

City of Rocks
 State Park

 Explore the otherworldly beauty of City of Rocks State Park, where
 stunning wind-sculpted, rain-worn volcanic rock formations resemble
 towers, temples, pinnacles and other fantastic shapes, some as high as
 40 feet. Located 30 miles north of Deming, the park is one of New
 Mexico’s most visited sites. Formed more than 30 million years ago after
 the eruption of a large volcano, the rock sculptures seem to create a small
 city, made up of houses, chimneys and courtyards, all separated by paths
 that look like city streets. Arrowheads, pottery and other artifacts found
 here indicate that the Mimbres Indians once lived in the area. Later,
 Spanish conquistadors carved crosses on the rocks that some believe
 point the way to ancient buried treasure. The mesmerizing
 landscape of City of Rocks is a paradise for hikers, mountain bikers,
 picnickers, birdwatchers and wildlife viewers. Be on the lookout for
 antelope, javelinas, deer and jackrabbits, as well as more than 35
 species of birds, from finches to golden eagles.
 You can also visit a desert botanical garden
 filled with yucca, century plants, cow’s tongue

to leave with the natural objects they found there. You can prospect
for geodes, jasper, opals and more, and take your findings with you,
as long as the total weighs 15 pounds or less. You might also find
quartz crystal, translucent chalcedony, onyx, agate, thundereggs
and perlite. The park isn’t just for rock hunting, though. You can
mountain bike, hike and enjoy a picnic surrounded by stunning
scenery. Spend the night in a spacious campsite with views that
stretch across the desert plain. There’s also a playground for kids.
Plant life includes yucca and prickly pear cacti, mesquite, juniper,
scrub oak and wildflower displays. You may see deer, antelope,
prairie dogs, badgers and an array of birds, too.

 Pancho Villa was driving his
 black 1919 Dodge touring car
 when he was assassinated in
 Chihuahua on July 20, 1923, at
 the order of Mexico President
 Alvaro Obregon. More than
 a century after Villa’s raid on
 Columbus, Pancho Villa State
 Park is taken over every October
 by Pancho’s Car Show, featuring
 vintage and late model show
 cars and motorcycles. You’ll see
 some of the best show vehicles in
 the Southwest and, who knows,
 you may even see a black 1919
 Dodge touring car.

Pancho Villa
State Park

 At the border of Mexico, a half-hour’s drive from Deming, lies Pancho
 Villa State Park. With its historic buildings and exhibition hall, the
 park commemorates the famous raid of General Francisco “Pancho”
 Villa’s soldiers, who attacked the small border town of Columbus
 and Camp Furlong, a military camp, on March 9, 1916. This raid
 marked the first armed invasion of the continental U.S. and the last
 one, too. In response, General “Black Jack” Pershing went after Pancho
 Villa, leading 10,000 American soldiers on an 11-month, 5,000-mile
 pursuit into Mexico, but failed to capture him. The park’s exhibits
 and buildings explore this fascinating history, as Pershing’s pursuit
 marked the first U.S. military expedition to employ airplanes and other
 mechanized transportation. That experience proved to be invaluable
 when Pershing served as commander of the Allied forces in World War
 I. You’ll see a Curtiss JN-3 “Jenny” aircraft
 and a 1916 Dodge touring car, the kind that
                                                                180
