The Silver City Museum

The Silver City Museum

The Silver City Museum creates opportunities for residents and visitors to explore, understand, and celebrate the rich and diverse cultural heritage of southwestern New Mexico by collecting, preserving, researching and interpreting the region's unique history.

The Silver City Museum, opened in 1967, is a department of the Town of Silver City with support from the Silver City Museum Society and The Institute of Museum and Library Services. Housed in the restored 1881 Mansard/Italianate H.B Ailman House, the museum collection resource materials include some 20,000 objects relating to the peoples and history of southwest New Mexico.

A twelve-member Board of Directors, appointed by Silver City's mayor, oversees strategic planning and policy for the museum. Museum operations are administered by a small staff, supplemented with a large corps of volunteers.
