A very important collection of Mimbres pottery and artifacts from the NAN Ranch excavation. The historical restoration makes a nice small museum.

Though not a large collection such as one would find at the Museum in Deming, it is all presented with very good lighting and accessibility. Worth the visit if you are in Silver City. The young woman behind the desk was quite helpful.
