William "Billy The Kid" Bonney's Grave

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 grave site is located behind the Old Fort Sumner Museum.

William "Billy the Kid" Bonney was killed and buried at the above mentioned intersection with US Hwy 60 and the unknown road.  Sheriff Pat Garrett killed Bonney on the night of 14 July 1881.
