Old
Fort Sumner Museum
Located off US Hwy 60, near mile marker 331,
east of the intersections with NM Hwy 212 and 272 on an intersecting road with an unknown
name (perhaps Billy The Kid Rd - look for a sign that indicates which road to take),
travel south on this road, where it ends at the intersection with NM Hwy 272 after 3 1/2
miles, and continue south. The museum (with Billy
the Kid's grave located behind the museum) and Fort Sumner State Monument are
located just after mile marker 5 of NM Hwy 272. The museum contains historical
documents of Billy the Kid (actual handwritten letters) and Pat Garrett.
