City of Las Vegas Museum/Rough Rider Memorial Collection
Housed in a 1940's era Works Project Administration (WPA) building, the city of Las Vegas manages a collection of Rough Riders memorabilia and artifacts belonging to Northern New Mexico's territorial history and regional culture. These include household items, costumes, weapons, ranching gear, tools and furniture dating from the late 1800's. You'll also find books, newspapers, maps and historic photographs of the era when the coming of the railroad displaced agriculture as the primary industry and brought an influx of Anglos to this Hispanic farming community.
