HILLSBORO HOMES AND LAND
3 - SPECIAL HOMES AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW!
HILLSBORO was founded in 1877 when gold was discovered nearby. This marked the beginning of a tempestuous and colorful life. Six million dollars worth of gold and silver came from the area's mines, and the village quickly grew despite fierce Indian attacks.
Hillsboro is located between Hot Springs (Truth or Consequences,NM) and the Rio Grande River to the East and Silver City, the Gila National Forest and the Black Range Mountains to the West. Hillsboro was the Sierra County Seat from 1884 to 1938.
A true remnant of the old west boom towns, Hillsboro had stores, a public school, churches, hotels, restaurants, saloons, a bank, newspaper, an assay office, three stamp mills, and many other businesses.
Today Hillsboro is a well-known community of writers, artists, ranchers and miners. This picturesque tree-lined village features the must-see Black Range Museum stuffed with artifacts dating from 1875-1900... the 120-year-old General Store (now operating as a restaurant)... two churches, a post office, lodging accommodations, shops, art galleries, a small grocery store... and remnants of a former glory.
About 225 people live in Hillsboro today in the some in old adobe houses and others in fine restored period homes.
Every Labor Day weekend Hillsboro hosts the Apple Festival, a venerable New Mexico tradition, and the sidewalks overflow with merchants, vendors, and seemingly more visitors than can fit.
