The Deming Luna Mimbres Museum, located in the historic National Guard Armory in Deming, New Mexico, offers a unique glimpse into the everyday lives of local citizens since the town's inception in 1881. With diverse exhibits ranging from antique office machines to over 1000-year-old pottery, the museum emphasizes the personal narratives of the community rather than solely focusing on historical events. Founded by dedicated volunteers, the museum has expanded significantly since its origins in a small cottage, now featuring multiple additions including an art gallery and military room. Governed by the Luna County Historical Society, it stands as a testament to the rich heritage of the region and its longstanding ties to military history and social gatherings.
