Fox Cave, Historical cave in Ruidoso Downs, New Mexico.

Fox Cave features six themed exhibition rooms displaying artifacts from Native American culture, the Lincoln County War, and regional geological specimens.

The cave served as a refuge for Apache leader Geronimo and outlaw Billy the Kid during the turbulent period of the American frontier.

The site contains exhibits related to the Mescalero Apache nation and displays numerous artifacts connected to the American Old West heritage.

Located on Highway 70 between Roswell and Alamogordo, Fox Cave remains open seven days a week with free admission to all visitors.

The limestone cave houses an extensive gemstone collection alongside unusual exhibits featuring dinosaur sculptures and a crashed UFO installation.
