Located off US Hwy 60/84, near mile marker 331, in east central New Mexico, the Fort Sumner State Monument (1862-1868) is east of the intersections with NM Hwy 212 and 272 (near mile marker 329) 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 monument is located west of the Old Fort Sumner Museum (with Billy the Kid's grave located behind the museum) on a dirt road just after mile marker 5 of NM Hwy 272.
