Community Calendar

On Saturday, June 28, the Magoffin Home State Historic Site will open its doors one last time before the historic home closes for restoration. Our "Last Look Restoration Celebration" will be a day filled with music, crafts, food and free tours; a joyful send-off for a house that has meant so much to generations of El Pasoans. Come walk the halls, listen to the stories, and help us mark the end of one chapter and the beginning of another.

🗺️All are welcome on Friday, June 27 through Sunday, June 29 from 12:00 pm- 4:00 pm to our Cultural Celebration Weekend to view Sue Koenig’s Window to the World: Africa and Middle East Gallery and some specially selected items from the rest of the collection.

🧭This behind the scene look will explore the other 5 regions represented in Sue’s collection and will only be available this weekend. The Cultural Celebration Weekend is free and open to the public.

🗺After thirty years of world travel, 110 countries, and over 10,000 items later, she started Window to the World, an international, interactive museum in Arkansas and Colorado. When she was unable to secure another building, the collection remained in storage for eighteen years. The collection now finds its new beginnings at the International Museum of Art.

Consistently rated the best local scavenger hunt since 2016!

Puzzling Adventures are a cross between a scavenger hunt, an adventure race, and an informative self-guided walking tour. Each adventure consists of a series of locations that you are guided to where you are required to answer a question or solve a puzzle to receive your next instruction. Compete as a group, individually or create multiple teams and race each other. Almost all of our adventures are designed to be wheelchair and stroller friendly and all are carefully crafted to be entertaining and informative with something to appeal to all ages. Complete the adventure as quickly as possible to win first place or take your time and enjoy the journey. Price is per team, not per person. Groups can be any size, but small groups are recommended for the best experience.

Most locations are available daylight hours every day.

Drawing from the NMSU Art Museum’s extensive collection of over 2,200 Mexican retablos, Trinities of Heaven and Earth explores the spiritual and cultural importance of these sacred images. Retablos, small devotional paintings traditionally displayed in Mexican homes, served as vital expressions of Catholic faith and values within the household. The imagery of the Holy Family conveys blessings related to family life, while depictions of the Holy Trinity invoke divine guidance. Together, these themes explore the connection between sacred devotion and earthly life, bridging the divine and the domestic.

The exhibition will open on March 21, 2025, at 5:30 pm in the Margie and Bobby Rankin Retablo Gallery, and will be open until March 7, 2026. The museum is open Tues-Sat from 10 AM - 4 PM.
