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 completed 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 our building designed to house the Coach is completed!
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 an exceptional quarterly history Journal: Guajolotes, Zopilotes y Paisanos. Journals dating back through 2018 can now be found on the Journal page of this website.
We are an all-volunteer run 501(c)3 non-profit organization established in 2008. Membership, donors and our store at the Black Range Museum support our work.
We are proud to be an active and growing New Mexico history museum.
Meet interesting people and learn more about southern NM history.
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.
