Come celebrate National Archaeology Day at the Mimbres Culture Heritage Site Saturday, October 18.
Starting at 11 am, the doors open to the museum where you can learn about the people who have lived in the Mimbres. Beginning with the Mimbreños who settled in the valley around 200 AD and lived in the area for almost 1000 years, through the Apache era and into the mining and homestead years and beyond. The history is rich and fascinating.
There will be walking tours around the Mattocks Ruin, storytelling and the office of Doctor Granville Wood will be open to explore also. There will be hands- on activities for all ages.
At 6 pm, just down the road at the Roundup Lodge, guest speaker David Mercer will share the history he learned about Georgetown, NM, once a booming silver and gold mining town near the Mimbres. This is a free presentation although donations are always appreciated as the Imogen F Wilson Education Foundation is a non-profit foundation run entirely by volunteers. David Mercer earned his Master’s Degrees in Geology and Public History from NMSU and was an intern at the Mimbres Culture Heritage Site. He continues to volunteer there. The Roundup Lodge is located at 91 Acklin Hill Rd next to the San Lorenzo Elementary School.
Plan to spend the day in the beautiful Mimbres Valley. Bring a picnic lunch or partake a meal at one of the nearby restaurants, but come on out and help us celebrate National Archaeology Day 2025.
