Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Railroading had a significant impact on the development and history of Las Cruces and the Mesilla Valley. The Las Cruces Railroad Museum commemorates this influential past by promoting the understanding and appreciation of it through public programming, events, and exhibitions. Interpreting and preserving the museum, which is housed in the notable Santa Fe Depot, the museum has been listed on the National Register of Historic Buildings.

Visitors can explore and better understand not only the role the railroad industry played in Las Cruces, but the background of the railway workers, the construction of the building itself, and how railroad communication has transformed over the years. Unique aspects of the museum include a wooden caboose and a model train room that visitors can run themselves.
