Old Dolin Mill
The Old Mill iis the reason why the town of Ruidoso formed. The mill was built after the civil war as a sawmill. Ruidoso was a prime location because it was close to Fort Stanton and had both forest (for lumber) and water (for power). After struggling to make the property financially viable as a gift shop or museum, the owners now make it available as an event venue. It would be sad to see this piece of history fade away. If in Ruidoso, stop by and give the old mill your support.
Not Davy Crockett's Cabin
Davy Crockett Cabin
This is Davy Crockett's last cabin that isn't Davy Crockett's cabin and isn't on Davy Crockett's property. Davy Crockett's cabin was disassembled and moved to this site in Rutherford, Tennessee, for reassembly, but visiting carnival people burned the logs to stay warm. Only two of the original logs survived. This replica of Davy Crockett's cabin was built with wood taken from Davy Crockett's mother's cabin.
