1. 4.5 Bowlins Continental Divide Trading Post (28 reviews)
   - Raccoon Caps
   Thursday: 7:00 AM - 5:00 PM Spent < 1 hour Speciality & Gift Shops
   
   
   Continental Divide Trading Post is located on Interstate 10 (Exit 42) about 20 miles east of Lordsburg, New Mexico. This store has a large selection of rugs and a fine assortment Indian made jewelry and artifacts, as well as the tremendous variety of items offered at all our Bowlin Stores. When you are at our Continental Divide Store, you are only a few miles from the Shakespeare Ghost Town and Stiens Railroad Ghost Town. If you will stay in the area for a few days, you can camp, hike and fish in the 2.7 Million acres of the Gila (pronounced hee-la) National Forest. The Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument is also there. See more..
   
2. 4.5 Lordsburg-Hildalgo County Museum (9 reviews)
   - Local Gem
   Spent 1-2 hours Military Museums • Speciality Museums • History Museums
   
   
   This is only open Monday through Friday and only 1.00pm until 5.00pm. If you are able to get here during the times mentioned, you are in for a treat. Large building with such varied exhibits that you will most likely be there for the time that it is open. There are many fascinating exhibits and the folks who are there provide a very in depth account of what happened in this area. Get off the interstate and visit, it is well worth your time See more..
   
3. 4.5 Verla's Western Wear (4 reviews)
   - Wonderful shop and lovely shopkeeper!
   Speciality & Gift Shops
   
   
   Verla's Western Wear is also Border Rock Shop--two stores in one--and it's full of great clothes, unusual gifts and beauteous rocks. The rocks range from rough by-the-pound chunks in labeled bins in the yard out back to rows of shelves of polished crystal and mineral specimens inside, tiny to tall. Besides all this, in the glass cases at the counter she sells wondrous jewelry for all price ranges. Yes, for sure, in my book, this store with two official names is indeed a Lordsburg NM must-visit attraction. Also, I knew this was an amazing place right away when I noticed in the parking lot an old-fashioned stone grinding wheel that could fit-in just as well in this town's museum--fascinating!

   Want a Billy the Kid cookbook? How about specialty foods, clothing, jewelry, Indian goods and artifacts and blankets for less than $8? This is the place-right off the interstate with lots of souvenirs, friendly people and a gun and pyrotechnics shop next door. My wife had a blast here and we ended up going twice. See more..
