Billy the Kid Courthouse Escape
Lincoln County • New Mexico • NM
💡 Tips from Dan
Your Road Warrior Guide
- •Pack a picnic! The town of Lincoln has beautiful spots for a family lunch outdoors.
- •Not all areas are stroller accessible, so a baby carrier might be a good idea for the little ones.
- •Remember to wear comfortable shoes; the historical buildings and sites involve a bit of walking.
- •Don't forget to visit other historical spots in Lincoln, such as the Torreon and Tunstall's store.
- •Lastly, pay heed to the dark tourism ethics: visit respectfully, speak quietly and remember, this is a site of real-life drama and loss.
