The most recent opening on February 1, 2019, of a comprehensive exhibit at the Silver City Museum features ranching, which has formed a large part of the economy since the 1800s.
People can read articles about their families in the area from way back when. Photos show that a lot remains the same when you're on a ranch, whether from the 1880s or today. Exhibits feature everything from brands to saddles.
