“A Day in Old Lincoln”
Photographed by Carmon Phillips, 1950

For generations, people have made their way to Lincoln, drawn by its rich Wild West history, timeless charm, and the feeling of stepping back into another era. More than 75 years after this photo was taken, much of the village remains remarkably unchanged, allowing visitors to experience the same historic streets that have captivated travelers for decades.

Experience it for yourself during Old Lincoln Days, August 7–9, 2026. Spend the weekend exploring historic buildings, watching gunfight reenactments, enjoying live music, local vendors, food, and the beloved Last Escape of Billy the Kid Pageant, while celebrating the legends that continue to make Lincoln one of New Mexico’s most iconic destinations.
