We collect, preserve and interpret the history of the Hillsboro, Kingston and Lake Valley areas of southern New Mexico, to promote understanding of our local heritage.
The Hillsboro Historical Society has now initiated construction of a Coach House behind our Black Range Museum in Hillsboro, New Mexico. Many steps remain in the acquisition process for the Mountain Pride Stagecoach, but we are underway on a new building!
With the porch roof and windows in place, the final look and function of the Coach House becomes apparent. Â The design allows visitors to enter the interior if accompanied by a Docent; however, the coach can also be viewed through the north-facing windows.
The door on the right is to a much-needed climate-controlled storage area for collections.
The Hillsboro Historical Society owns and manages the Black Range Museum and the old Sierra County Courthouse and Jail Site in Hillsboro, New Mexico.
We publish a quarterly Journal for our members: Guajolotes, Zopilotes y Paisanos.  Excerpted articles can be found on the Journal page of the website.
We are an all-volunteer run 501(c)3 non-profit organization established in 2008. Â Membership, donors and our store at the Black Range Museum support our work.

We are a 100% volunteer-run organization and we always need new volunteers! You may choose working in the Museum or helping on one of various committees. There is something for any time you have and your skills. We also consider interested people each year who can give time to our active Board of Directors.
