    The grounds, murals and interpretive signs at the Silver City Museum are definitely worth a visit even if the museum is closed. There are shaded areas to sit and enjoy coffee and local history, including a nice map of the historic buildings downtown, perfect for a walking tour.

    I loved this place, built in 1881 and all the old antiques in this place! So if you are ever in town, come and visit, and get a history lesson of this place and Silver City.

    It's a really nice town. However we didn't know that so many things would be closed or close early…read moreon Tuesday. The people were friendly and lots of arts and crafts stores to browse through...if they were open

    Traveling with a group that's been wanting to come down to silver City and tour a few locations for…read morequite a number of years. Or post covid-19 tour of Silver City was depressing. If the amount of money and energy being spent on PR or being spent by the town residents and businesses to create a cohesive and healthy community with a goal this town could be a nice place to visit. We tried several of the trails which were not as advertised. Apparently the trails heads were initiated in the late seventies. Unfortunately upkeep of the trails and environment has not occurred. It appears that large collective of failed artists and '70s like businesses have taken over much of town. There are quite a few antique shops that have an amazing amount of antique odds and ends if you're looking. This is a Bible belt area. Businesses are not open on Sunday. The town has a smattering of mom and pop cafes and bistros serving generic quality Fare. The prices are significantly high for the quality of food. Coffee shop prices are reasonable. Everything about this town advertises that it is struggling and failing. From brightly colored paints coating multiple old and chipping paints and rotting wood. The town does have ramps to their very high sidewalks. What must the same from the height of the sidewalks that water gets down the streets when rain is significant. The highest rated restaurants in town are fast food corporate chains. There is a very large Walmart a tractor supply hardware store and drug stores. There is an Albertsons. Gas prices are a dollar higher than on the main freeways. Restaurant food prices are expensive given the quality of food. The people here were very nice. However conversation generally of people not being able to afford maintenance on homes telling us that economically the area is really struggling. This is not a bad place to stop if you are trying to travel up the Gila national Forest. Otherwise recommend stopping at the bigger towns 30 to 40 minutes away and bypassing this experience.

    Deming has a legit sandwich shop. The Custom House is a different and unique option for lunch…read more You should visit for the vintage atmosphere. They have a super fun collection of antiques and historical items. The building is beautiful and you can explore while you wait for your food. My eating companions and I had BLT's, chicken salad, and broccoli cheddar soup. Next time I would request my bread be toasted, but otherwise a very standard experience. The iced tea was super good! I will revisit.

    Deming, New Mexico…read more Timestamp: April 2021 Location & Parking: Street. Small town. Handicap: Yes. Hours: Mon - Sat 1230p-4p. Closed on Sunday. Costs: Free Museum Type: Historical Custom House Seaman Field's old home is believed to be this small New Mexico town of Deming's inital customs house. This is speculated to be the original custom house for Deming or the entire Luna County because Mr. Seamen Field set up his home/ranch back in 1848. Mr. Field was also the first bonded customs agent under President G. Cleveland, Deming's first mayor and judge. More info about Mr Field, this abode and related can be found at the Luna County (Columbus) Historical Society (Museum) in Columbus, New Mexico about an hour south of Deming near the Original Mexico border. The home has been refurbished inside and out to resemble the late 1800 and early 1900s rather than it's pure original. The home is in well shape throughout the years and looks nothing like the original abode since we don't know what it really looked like yet still a gem to snoop around the past, learn and be amazed how the people back thing survived. Deming is a small town with limitations. Notable attractions in Deming are the Mimbres Museum across the street, the small Veterans park/memorial across the street and the Luna County Courthouse which is over 100 years old with a cool park to rest up. About one hour north of Deming are: City of Rocks, and Fort Cummings Historical Site and town of Hatch. A further drive is Silver City which has its own set of touristy stuff. About one hour south of Deming are: The mexican border, Luna County Historical Society and the Pancho Villa State Park. About one east is Las Cruces, NM and there is nothing west until you hit Benson, Arizona. Travel safely www.cleeshyun.com @cigarcpa @cleeshyun
