Bayard Mining Park

On the corner of Central Avenue and Poplar Street in downtown Bayard, New Mexico, the Bayard Mining Park commemorates Grant County miners with a collection of mining equipment and educational plaques. While the park does not warrant a trip in and of itself, the park, like a fine wine, is paired nicely with a trip to the Chino Mine viewing lot and is not far from equally historic mining hubs commemorated by the Silver City Museum and Pinos Altos Museum.
