There has been so much stress over President Morgan's funeral that we decided to leave town on our P-Day and visit Lincoln county, which is about 20 miles away. This is where Billy the Kid shot and killed the lawmen and became an outlaw. He escaped the jail here and fled. The movie we watched said he became famous as the fastest gunman alive and was known all over the world. The jail is where he was kept. They used the jail there to house the prisoners and chained them to U-bolts on the floor. The bullet hole in the wall was suppose to be his last shot while escaping this prison.
The fort you see dad standing by was made to help protect themselves from the Apache's. They have several displays from the Apache's in the Museum too.
