History
The Alamogordo Museum of History preserves and explores the rich history of Alamogordo, Otero County, and the entire Tularosa Basin. Operated by the Tularosa Basin Historical Society, an all volunteer organization, the museum contains exhibits on the native population from pre-history to present, the impact of the military presence in the Tularosa Basin since 1942, the establishment and growth of Alamogordo, the daily life of the residents, the industries of the region (railroad, lumbering, ranching, farming, mining). The museum also has a small reference library in which staff and patrons conduct research. There is also a photograph collection of over 3,000 images that is available for reproduction.
