Due to our 501(c)(3) status, we ask that discussions stay focused on our mission. Political & discriminatory comments will be removed. Here you can journey through the history of the U.S. Border Patrol from the beginning in the Old West, through Prohibition, World War II, into the high-tech Patrol of today. The museum exhibits uniforms, equipment, photographs, guns, vehicles, airplanes, boats and documents depicting historical and current date sector operations throughout the United States. The Museum is open Tuesdays through Saturdays, 9am to 5pm. NO ADMISSION FEE, but we cheerfully accept donations. The National Border Patrol Museum offers guided tours with advance notice Tuesdays through Fridays. We are located at 4315 Trans Mountain Rd., just west (mountainside) of highway 54 to Alamogordo.
