1st Friday on March 4 at 7 pm "The Old Dowlin Mill"


Join Lyn Kidder on a visual journey down memory lane of days-past Ruidoso.  Kidder published with Arcadia Publishing another Images of America book on Ruidoso using the photos of 
Carmon Phillips

the owner of the old Dowlin Mill 
and long-time photographer in Ruidoso.   

Photographer Carmon Phillips and his wife Leona Mae moved to Ruidoso in 1945. Her family owned a cabin there and the young couple had visited as often as their wartime-issued gas coupons would allow.They leased the old adobe mill, which was practically a ruin, and went to work restoring it. They built a small building on a adjoining lot, a building that served as a gift shop, photo processing lab and their home until 1951, when the shop was moved to the mill.

An enthusiastic promoter, Phillips photographed nearly every aspect of Ruidoso life during the 1950s and 1960s. His collection of more than 6,000 negatives was donated to the Hubbard Museum of the American West by his daughter, Delana Clements.

"Carmon was interested in so many things, and he worked so hard to document the life of Ruidoso. Even if you don't know the people in the photos, they make a charming portrait of early Ruidoso."


Lyn Kidder and her husband, Frederic Moras, left Pennsylvania in 1989 heading west. 
They spent seven years traveling and working (and skiing!) in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho,
 Alaska and Wyoming.  
Lyn began writing with Frederic contributing the photography. 
In 1997, the couple landed and stayed in Ruidoso .
Lyn has been published in Alaska Magazine, Alaska Geographic,
Ceramics Monthly, Wyoming Farmer-Stockman, 
Medical Laboratory Observer, New Mexico Magazine
and New Mexico Business Journal.
She had poetry published in Verbalize, a medium of the students of 
liberal arts at a small Wyoming college. 
While living in Barrow, Alaska, (300 miles north of the Arctic Circle, 
right next door to Santa Claus) she wrote Barrow, Alaska from A to Z, the only guidebook to that northernmost community, and Tacos on the Tundra,
the story of the world's northernmost Mexican restaurant and
the crazy woman who started it all., Fran Tate.

The Bataan Memorial Death March - First Friday Event - FEB 5 at 7pm

First Friday Program
The Bataan Memorial Death March
  February 5, 2016 at 7:00pm

The Bataan Memorial Death March is an annual commemoration of the Bataan Death March attended by many of the survivors of the march, along with thousands of supporters from around the world, held at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. Held annually since 1990, this is a full marathon, with a 15 mi (24 km) run for those who do not wish to run the full course, covering paved road and sandy trails. It is regarded by Marathon Guide as one of the top 30 marathons in the U.S. The memorial march is a tribute to the 1,800 Bataan prisoners who were from New Mexico. After the men were liberated in 1945, only 900 returned to the state. A third of those died from disease, drink, or suicide within a few years.

Mike Bilbo and his wife Barbara live in a house located on the site of Ft. Stanton, and he is active in living history with the Fort Stanton Garrison organization. He has completed the 26.2-mile Bataan Memorial Death March at White Sands Missile Range numerous times, including in the 1858 woolen Army uniform he wore to the museum presentation.




Join us for an informative and interesting evening.
Refreshments will follow the presentation.
