Paying $6 to enter this museum is not bad at all. The Geronimo Springs Museum in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico is small but alluring. Inside the museum building are small rooms that showcase various interesting exhibits.
There’s the Apache history room that has a life-size wax statue of Geronimo.
Ralph Edwards Room explains the town’s name change in 1950 from “Hot Springs” to “Truth or Consequences”.
A room for stone tools, arrowheads, and pottery.
A prehistoric Woolly Mammoth fossil.
This is the most interesting room — an old Hardcastle Cabin was moved from the Black Range Mountains to this new location in the museum.
Displayed outside are farming equipment.

This museum is one of the nicest small museums that is located in a small town.
