Ghosts of the Past: Death in New Mexico

Visit Fort Selden Historic Site to step into the past.

Go on a moonlit tour of the site and meet people of the past and learn about how they lived, and how they died. Meet one of Pancho Villa’s soldiers, a curandera, hear about tuberculosis in New Mexico, mine disasters, and more!

Tickets for the timed tours, which will begin at 6:00pm can be purchased now by visiting https://my.nmculture.org/11030/13992.

But be sure to come early for music, food, and fun before your tour! The site will begin its festivities at 4:00pm. A short 30-minute talk on Día de Los Muertos, Halloween, and New Mexico will take place in the Pavilion at 4:30pm. $5/adult. Free for children 16 years and under.
