Mountainair, N.M.
Centennial History
1903-2003

by Bert Herrman

Read about this remarkable area --"Gateway to the Ancient Cities," where you will find the remains of majestic mission churches which once stood beside now-deserted pueblos. Here, charming Spanish towns grew up along the picturesque Manzano Mountains. At the turn-of-the-century, railroads brought "Immigrant Trains" full of homesteaders who turned the desolate plains into "The Pinto Bean Capital of the World."

Years of drought turned Mountainair into a quiet cowboy/ranching town, almost untouched in 60 years (now with a blossoming art community). Mountainair is rich in history; it is a place whre you can truly "step back in time."
