A must see in Ruidoso Downs, the Hubbard Museum of the American West.

Current exhibit: "Ancient New Mexico": An in-depth exhibit of the peoples that inhabited the southwest from pre-historical periods up to Spanish exploration. The exhibit runs from November 14, 2009 to October 3, 2010.

There is plenty of western history to see at the Hubbard Museum. From the Mission Statement on the museum web site a brief statement on the museum reads:

 "R.D. and Joan Dale Hubbard founded the Hubbard Museum of the American West in 1992, then presented it to the City of Ruidoso Downs in 2005. It has grown from its original incredible collection of Anne C. Stradling’s Museum of the Horse to being a truly first class historic Western museum. The famous Stradling collection includes bits, spurs, bridles and saddles from around the world, and an amazing collection of carriages, wagons and horse drawn vehicles spanning hundreds of years."

The Hubbard Museum of the American West is located at 841 Hwy 70 West,  Ruidoso Downs, NM 88346. Call 575-378-4142 for more information.
