Lincoln County, NM
Approximate location — plotted from published sources, not a site visit, and not a guarantee of access.
New Mexico’s most-visited state historic site preserves most of the main street of 1870s–1880s Lincoln — epicenter of the Lincoln County War and Billy the Kid lore. Museums in period buildings (Courthouse, Tunstall Store, and others) sit in a National Historic Landmark district that still feels like a frontier county seat.
