Review:
The Billy The Kid Museum in Fort Sumner is devoted to the history of the American West. The name “Billy the Kid Museum” comes from the famous outlaw, who frequented Fort Sumner when he was alive.
Several of his personal possessions are on display in the museum, including his rifle, his chaps and spurs, and the door he backed through on the night he was killed by Sheriff Pat Garrett.
The museum also contains antique transportation vehicles like buggies and even a horse-drawn hearse, as well as many small, day-to-day items that people once used.
The souvenir and gift shop at the Billy the Kid Museum has a wide variety of mugs, toys, t shirts, magnets, and other paraphernalia, both related to Billy the Kid and not.
