Lincoln, a town frozen in time

In this quiet, one-street community your wedding guests can walk in the footsteps of Sheriff Pat Garrett, Billy the Kid, and other infamous characters involved in the Lincoln County War.

Jemez, among the ruins at Giusewa

Imagine your event taking place among the massive stone walls of San Jose de los Jemez Mission, built about the time the Pilgrims arrived in Plymouth Rock. nmhistoricsites.org/jemez
