If you are interested in the history of Lincoln and Billy the Kid, stay in Lincoln for a few hours. See how the acting governor of The New Mexico Territory figures in to why Billy the Kid was in Lincoln and why he escaped. The Acting governor was General Lew Wallace, the author of the book, "Ben Hur". Billy the Kid wrote a letter to Gen Wallace. It's all there and more!
A little information on each building would help. It know these as I have been to Lincoln 3 times, but the general view would not know the Tunstall Store to the Murphy Donald Store/ Courthouse. Or the Worthy Hotel. Or where the McSween house was during the 5 day gun battle.. Also know the History of the Lincoln County War 1875-1881. William Bonney ( Billy the Kid) was basically a small player in it.
I absolutely love the old West..
