Deming Luna Mimbres Museum - One of the best museums you will find in this part of the country.  It has a little bit of everything.  We call it our little Smithsonian.  There is an extensive collection of Indian pottery, a collection of over 2500 bells, geodes, quilts, doll room, transportation wing and on and on and on.  There are displays of Fort Cummins, Camp Cody and the Deming Air Base that was here in WWII.

St. Clair Vineyards - They have wine tasting every afternoon.  On Saturdays they  give tours of the plant.  A wine fest is held each October.  A lot of fun had by all.

Gila Cliff Dwellings - The cliff dwellings are about 95 miles away.  They are from the Anazasi era.  Probably around the years of 1250 AD.  They will actually let you walk right up inside the dwellings.

Columbus - This is a little town about 30 miles south of Deming.  It is the only place in the US that has been invaded by a foreign country.  Pancho Villa raided Columbus coming up out of Mexico March 9, 1916.  Columbus has 2 museums and the Pancho Villa State Park is located there.  The park is located on the grounds of Camp Furlong.  Camp Furlong is the location of the first military air base in the US.

Rockhound State Park - The park is located at the base of the Florida Mountains southeast of Deming just a few miles away.  This is one state park where you can actually pick up things and take them out with you.  Many treasured rocks have been found and taken back home.  There is a brand new visitor center there now.

City of Rocks State Park - A very interesting place to visit about 23 miles north of town.  There are huge rocks formed by volcanoes, rain and wind many years ago.  They also have a cactus garden and visitor center.

Los Palomas, Mexico - This is a small Mexican town located 33 miles south.  There is shopping, dentist, eye doctors and many drug stores located there.

The Catwalk - A beautiful park with a mile long metal walkway attached to the side of Whitewater Canyon and over Whitewater River.   The Catwalk name came from miners in 1889 who constructed a 4-inch pipeline between sheer rock walls to carry water three miles from a mining site to the mill and town of Graham.  You can watch the Whitewater River running down below you and see the trout swimming.
