Step inside history at the Billy the Kid Gift Shop, located in one of the most storied adobe buildings on the Mesilla plaza. With original 18-inch mud brick walls, exposed vigas and latillas, and tales that stretch back to the Civil War era, this building once served as a courthouse and jail where ...Billy the Kid was tried and sentenced. Today, it offers one of the area’s most complete gift shops, along with a stop for coffee at Wild West Express-o or a sweet treat from Old Town Fudge, all under one historic roof.
