Cowboy Days at New Mexico Farm and Ranch Heritage Museum

This past March, our family went to Cowboy Days at the New Mexico Farm and Ranch Heritage Museum. Considering that we are not from the West, this was entertainment unlike anything we had seen before!

Cowboy Days had lots of live entertainment and activities for us to see, including a Western Shootout reenactment, carriage rides, horse training demonstrations, vendors, pony rides, roping demonstratios and much more, in addition to the museum itself. We enjoyed watching old-fashioned cowboy biscuits being made in a cast iron pot over a camp fire by women in men in vintage Western attire. The best part was tasting them! The children had a great time trying out their roping skills on pretend steer made of metal bars.

Cowboy Days is an annual event at the New Mexico Farm and Ranch Heritage Museum in early March. If you're in the area, it's a great event to attend for the whole family!
