Lincoln Historic District, Historic district in Lincoln, New Mexico
The Lincoln Historic District includes multiple adobe structures along U.S. Highway 380, representing frontier architecture from the territorial period of New Mexico.
During the Lincoln County War of 1878-1881, the district became the center of conflicts between merchants, ranchers, and outlaws, including Billy the Kid.
The district maintains numerous period buildings, including the courthouse, church, and mercantile stores that display the architectural elements of Spanish and American influences.
Visitors can explore the district through guided tours that start at the visitor center, which provides maps and detailed information about each historic building.
The old courthouse contains the window through which Billy the Kid made his last escape, marking a significant moment in Western frontier history.
