The Museum
The Wingfield Heritage House Museum is located in the historic Wingfield family home. Built in the 1920s by Ike and Lula Wingfield, this historic home was once a family residence for three generations before becoming a hub for local businesses. Today, the house has been restored to its original footprint and hosts a variety of exhibits.
The museum opened in October of 2024 and is operated by the Village of Ruidoso. Admission is free. For more information on the museum, visit wingfieldmuseum.com.
