More About Roswell

The city of Roswell and Chaves County have been important historical sites throughout the history of human habitation in North America. Roswell, situated at the confluence of three rivers – the Spring, the Hondo, the Pecos – was established in 1870 by Van Smith, although the first historically documented settlement (1867) in the area was a settlement of crude adobe huts at “Rio Hondo,” the present day neighborhood of Chihuahuita. The Roswell and Chaves County area was contained within the original homeland of the Mescalero Apaches and overlapped the hunting grounds of the Comanche’s and became the campsite on the Goodnight-Loving Trail, which opened in 1866. The trail brought the ranching industry to the area, which flourishes to the present day.

Visitors to the city will find a plethora of cultural activities. For example, museum and art lovers of every age and interest can explore five outstanding museums: the Anderson Museum of Contemporary Art, featuring a wide ranging collection of modern art; the Roswell Museum and Art Center, with its collection of paintings by Peter Hurd, Henriette Wyeth, Georgia O’Keefe, as well as the fabulous Rogers Aston Indian Gallery; the Historical Center for Southwest New Mexico, located in the James Phelps White stately home and filled with antiques, artifacts, and a changing gallery of exhibits; the General Douglas L. McBride Museum, with its military armament displays; and the International UFO Museum, featuring UFO phenomenon exhibits and The Alien Caffeine Espresso Bar.

There’s much more to do in this All-America City. If your cup of tea is stargazing and planet exploration, the Robert H. Goddard Planetarium is an exciting choice. Bird watchers and wildlife aficionados will relish trips to Bitter Lake Wildlife Refuge with its designated fishing and hunting areas and flocks of migratory fowl. The Spring River Park and Zoo boasts animal exhibits, paved bicycle paths, a children’s fishing lake, a carousel, and a miniature train ride. Golfers will enjoy two of the finest courses in Southeast New Mexico: Cahoon Park, an 18-hole golf course open to the public and New Mexico Military Institute’s 18-hole course also open to the public.
