Help Preserve Ruidoso’s History: Join the Friends of the Wingfield Heritage House Museum

RUIDOSO, NM — The Wingfield Heritage House Museum is calling on community members with a passion for local history, education, and civic engagement to join an exciting new initiative: the formation of a Friends of the Museum support organization.

This newly forming group will play a vital role in raising funds and awareness for the historic Wingfield House, a cherished part of Ruidoso’s cultural landscape. Volunteers are needed to serve as board members and officers to help guide the direction and development of the nonprofit organization. With a 501(c)(3) designation already in place, the groundwork has been laid for an impactful and lasting community effort.

A focus group of museum stakeholders is scheduled for Friday, April 25 at 10:00 AM at the Ruidoso Public Library. This is a key opportunity for interested residents to learn more, share ideas, and get involved in shaping the future of the museum.

Whether you’re passionate about history, want to support local educational opportunities, or are simply looking for a meaningful way to give back to the community, the Friends of the Wingfield Heritage House Museum would love to hear from you.

Let’s come together to celebrate and protect the rich history of Ruidoso—one story at a time.
