Our RV park is located is located very close to old Mesilla Plaza, which is an historic town within the boundaries of Las Cruces, New Mexico. During the American Civil War, Mesilla briefly served as the capital of the Conferderate Territory of Arizonia. By 1850, Mesilla was an established Colony. Its like many early settlements where it suffered from Apache attacks, being originally a Mexican territory, battles during the Civil War etc.
Today the Le Mesilla Historic District includes Mesilla Plaza, The Fountain Theater, The Basilica of San Albino and the rebult Gazebo as the original became unsafe to use.
Situated around the Plaza there are number of shops mostly all of historic significance.
The Galeria was one such shop.
It was full of all things Mexican.
The Plaza is not all that large and is very easy to walk around and reminded us of Santa Fe. There are interesting lane ways.
Impressive adobe buildings both old and new.
The new:
