Welcome to our Museum!
The Folsom Museum is located in Folsom, NM. Folsom only has a population of about 80 citizens, but it has a larger than life history. The museum was established in 1966 and has occupied the Doherty Mercantile building ever since. The museum board has always been very active, hosting various events to help fund its restoration and preservation activities. In 2008, the museum sponsored the first annual Capulin Volcano Run, a Half Marathon / 10K / 5K race which has grown in popularity with each succeeding year. We hope you'll enjoy browsing the site and would be very happy to see you in person. We have an online store stocked with books and other interesting items - you can also make a donation there if you wish to help us with our cause!

Mission Statement The mission of the Folsom Museum is to instill pride in our remote and rural community by educating visitors about the history of the Northeast New Mexico area and its connection to our present and future. The Museum collections include important artifacts of historical and cultural value that date from the time of prehistoric Folsom Man through the period of American westward expansion when the town of Folsom was established and beyond. We Need Your Help We are currently planning to renovate the museum in order to preserve our heritage for future generations. The building is in dire need of repair. All donations are appreciated. Also, please look at our wish list page for additional ways to help. This building is
on the New Mexico State registry as a historical site, however it
currently does not receive state funding. We operate solely on
visitor admission, event donations, and the generosity of private benefactors. We will
need additional funding to make necessary repairs. Membership Information General
