3501 Billy the Kid Dr
Fort Sumner, NM 88119

The Billy The Kid Museum, located in Fort Sumner, New Mexico, offers visitors a glimpse into the challenges faced by people in the 1800s and early 1900s. Founded by Ed Sweet in 1953, the museum has garnered worldwide recognition for its extensive collection of approximately 60,000 historical relics, many of which are linked to the notorious outlaw Billy the Kid.

After Ed's passing in 1974, his wife Jewel and their son Donald kept the museum thriving, ensuring its continuing appeal to visitors of all ages. The museum's gift shop, managed by Donald Sweet and his family, provides a lasting connection to the region's rich history and culture.
