Hello:

If you're interested in Billy the Kid, consider heading south from Fort Sumner to Roswell, and then west to the little town of Lincoln. The Lincoln Historic Site is very nicely preserved, and includes most of the original buildings from the time of the Lincoln County War--including the courthouse where Billy made his escape after being sentenced to hang, and the cemetery where some of the Kid's victims are buried. A little further west, you've got White Sands National Monument and the White Sands Missile Range Museum. The missile range is the largest military installation in the U.S., and it's the location of the Trinity Site, where the first atom bomb was tested during WWII.
