New Museum Exhibit Showcases Ruidoso’s History Through Vintage Postcards
The Wingfield Heritage House Museum is pleased to announce the opening of a new exhibit, “Postcards of Ruidoso: Selections from the Collection of John Davys McCoy.” The exhibit, which opened on March 1, will run through August 23, offering residents and visitors an opportunity to explore Ruidoso’s past through a curated selection of historic postcards.
The collection features postcards spanning from the 1920s through the 1980s, depicting a wide range of scenes from the Ruidoso area. Visitors will see images of early downtown streets, historic hotels, horse racing at Ruidoso Downs, early skiing activities, and the unpaved roads that once led into town. The exhibit provides a nostalgic look at the growth and development of Ruidoso over the decades and is among the first collections donated to the newly established museum.
Community members and visitors are encouraged to stop by the Wingfield Heritage House Museum to view this unique display and learn more about Ruidoso’s history
