The Roswell Museum and Art Center contains interesting displays of paintings by internationally known artists like Peter Hurd and his wife Henriette Weyth. Rocket pioneer Robert Goddard lived in Roswell and did important rocket research in the nearby desert starting in 1930.

The New Mexico Military Institute offers a disciplined education to high school age students and also offers some Junior College level classes. The campus has been used as the setting for several movies. The Gen. Douglas L. McBride Museum, located on campus, is more disturbing these days than it is informative. Maybe I have seen too many of those movies!

But the main attraction in Roswell is Aliens and UFOs. The International UFO Museum and Research Center (IUFOMRC) is located right on Main street, at the intersection of US 380 and US 285. Stopping there is a MUST. A visit to the museum provided me with the opportunity to find out if Aliens and UFOs were real or not. Don't believe it? Rent the movie!
