A historic building once owned by the Ailman family in the 1880s, the museum is a great place to learn about the city&#8217;s past. It has been restored as an Italianate home and housed the local fire department until 1931. While there&#8217;s a lot to learn in this little town, Silver City&#8217;s charm is what sets it apart from other small towns in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The town was once an Apache campsite. When the Spanish came to the area, it became a copper mining town. After the American Civil War, it was known as la Cienega de San Vicente. It was not until 1870 that silver ore deposits were discovered in the area. These discoveries led to the founding of Silver City, which became the county seat of San Vicente County. Today, the town is a safe and thriving place to spend your weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a fun vacation in the Southwest, you may want to consider a visit to Silver City, New Mexico.
