Tucumcari Historical Museum

New Mexico


Downtown museum of local history that’s eclectic to say the least, with everything from a stuffed hawk and a Japanese flag to an entire firehouse and a fighter plane stranded in the yard. Several rooms feature loose reconstructions of early Western interiors, such as a classroom, and there's a collection of old wagons and buggies in the Big Red Barn. Cash only.
