    Then just after 8:30 am we headed into Deming to check out the Deming Luna Mimbres Museum for their website click HERE  . And what an mazing museum this is! We are not museum people but this place just blew us away . It was built in the early 1900's and was used for many purposes over the years. Was an armoury etc.. and in the late 1970s  it was taken over as a museum, they have been working on it since then, all done by volunteers. Admission is free and they ask for donations. After our tour we sure had to make a donation.

    When we walked in 3 volunteers greated us and ask if we had been here before. Nope, Well the reply was you are in for an amazing experience, and they were right the money, This place just blows you away.
