What’s Happening in Madrid

The Resurrection of Madrid’s Old Coal Town Museum!

April 5, 2012
The Old Coal Town Museum is undergoing big changes and will reopen in April 2012 with many new exhibits that tell stories of the past in Madrid. New exhibits will include the Madrid Christmas Exhibit- which inspired Walt Disney! The Madrid Miners Baseball Team with interesting connections to the Chicago White Sox, A Ghost Town exhibit, The Madrid ballpark, the first lighted ballpark in New Mexico and possibly North America!

And, of course what it was like to live in a "company owned mining town". We're fortunate to be working with local historian Bill Baxter, who is in the process of publishing a book on Madrid history!
We are seeking volunteers and organizations to help with the exhibits and restructering of the museum - if interested please contact us via email http://www.themineshafttavern.com or call 505-438-3780
