City
of Socorro Not far from Magdalena is our sister community of Socorro. They consider us 'the village up the mountain'. We consider them our "suburbs". They get hot summers. It's cool up here and our air is clean too. It's a workable arrangement! {wink} |

Historic
Magdalena Our Village site is great with tons of good links. There's more history here than you can shake a stick at. There's even 3 ghost towns nearby. Did you know the last real cattle drive in the U.S. happened here in the 70's? Folks here recall it well. |

Alamo Navajo Chapter
30 miles northwest of town is the Alamo Navajo Community. It's a village with a long history and strong heritage. Locals produce lovely craft items at fair prices. Visit them. You'll be glad you did. Buy gas before you go. They have no gas there! |

Cibola
National Forest Around these parts some believe if you live a good life, pray every day and go to church on Sunday, when you die you'll go to Water Canyon. If it's not heaven on earth, it's pretty darn close. Come see for yourself. You may never want to leave! |

New Mexico Dept of Tourism
They don't say much about Magdalena. How would they know? If they knew the whole story, they'd probably raise our taxes. |
