Event planners seek RSVP for May 25 event commemorating historic milestone
SILVER CITY, NM, March 15, 2024 – On Saturday, May 25, 2024, residents of the Town of Mogollon will host an event at the historic Mogollon Cemetery to celebrate 100 years since the Gila Wilderness was established. Located in the historic mining/ghost town of Mogollon, in Catron County, New Mexico, the cemetery is an ideal site in which to commemorate this historic milestone.
“The Mogollon Cemetery memorializes the miners, their families, and other residents of the Town of Mogollon before and after the turn of the 20th century. It contains histories told and untold, with one family plot notably illustrating the devastating effects of the Spanish flu epidemic of 1918 to 1920,” said Gila National Forest Supervisor Camille Howes. “Due to its small size, limited parking, and the sensitive nature of the cemetery, we would like to gauge interest ahead of time from members of the public who would like to participate in this event.”
