Old Mesilla is only about a mile from where we were staying so on Saturday we strolled down to take a look around.
It’s a very historic place on 16 November 1854 a detachment from Fort Fillmore raised the US flag confirming the Gadsen Purchase recognising that the territory was now part of the United States.
La Posta, now a restaurant, has stood for over 150 years and has been visited by various famous and infamous people, Billy the Kid, Pancho Villa, General Douglas MacArthur to name but a few.
This store was once a courthouse that held Billy the Kid.
The main plaza.
Have fun, we are!
