Quirky Tourist Attractions in or near New Mexico

While in New Mexico, you might enjoy a visit to:

El Paso, Texas: US Border Patrol Museum

The Border Patrol Museum has been in operation since 1985, tracing "the rich heritage of the patrol from the days of the Wild West to today's sophisticated law-enforcement technology." It's close to Mexico, in El Paso, but as the nation's only such museum it also tells the story of Canadian border patrols. Displays a collection of patrol vehicles -- tough terrain jeeps, helicopters -- along with photos, artifacts, confiscated weapons, and law enforcement ephemera.
~32 miles from Las Cruces.

Alamogordo, New Mexico: Grave of Ham the Astrochimp

The final resting place of Ham, the first chimp in space, is fittingly at The International Space Hall of Fame.
~66 miles from Las Cruces.

Sunland Park, New Mexico: Sierra de Cristo Rey, Christ of the Rockies

Impressive to look at, but risky to visit unless you're in a group. No divine protection here!
~37 miles from Las Cruces.
