Built in 2010-2011 by the owners of a motel who thought it would attract tourists to their neighborhood, and give Las Cruces an identity (The chili pepper is New Mexico's favorite crop).

Once we found someone that knew where it was, the GPS got us there no problem. On the way, we discovered Boone's Country Store, an Amish run gift shop that is very much worth seeing as well...
