America's best preserved frontier town | the most dangerous street in America | home of Billy the Kid

Welcome to Friends of the Lincoln Historic Site
The Friends of the Lincoln Historic Site is a non-profit whose purpose is to assist, promote and support the mission and activities of the Lincoln Historic Site, which is the most widely visited of all the New Mexico State Historic Sites. It is through the generous donations of people like you that we are able to preserve the historic structures of Lincoln, which has the greatest concentration of original territoral style adobe architecture left in all of the American Southwest. We are currently raising funds to restore and protect the historic church, Iglesia de San Juan Bautista built between 1885 and 1887, and the Torreón, built around 1855 and possibly the last of its kind in New Mexico. These projects combined are estimated to cost $450,000 and your contribution is vital for our success! Please consider making a donation today in any amount. Thank you!
