Lincoln Travel Information
The small town of Lincoln is steeped in wild west history, its
colorful past painted by the Apache Indians and characters such as
Billy the Kidd and Kit Carson. Lincoln is part of a National Historic
Landmark which encompasses a ten square mile area, and the town is
active in preserving the area and the history which put it on the map.
Interestingly enough, the town of Lincoln has shunned the
plastico fast food and motel franchises that have sprung up almost
everywhere else in New Mexico and visitors will find only locally
owned dining and accommodation options are available here. In addition
to Lincoln's history and heritage, the rolling grasslands and
foothills of the Sierra Blanca Mountains incorporated in the Fort
Stanton Recreation area spread to the west of town, offering visitors
to this area a good variety of recreational opportunity. Lincoln is
best accessed via east/west US Highway 380 through Roswell or
Carrizozo. To learn more about Lincoln, select a topic of interest
