Antique Windmill Restored At NMSU
A donated antique windmill now stands on the NMSU Las Cruces campus near the College of Agriculture and Home Economics. Built in the late 1880s by the A. J. Corcoran Company, it was shipped to Hachita and moved 22 miles by wagon to Playas Ranch in Hidalgo County in 1888, the year NMSU was founded. Restored by M. Rasmussen, it symbolizes Southwestern settlement. Also note a January veterans services outreach by Jose M. Salas in Lordsburg.
