Browse over a dozen vintage typewriters that have been revived and are ready to gift to the writer in your life. Or buy one for yourself! Take an off-ramp from the Digital Highway and join the Typewriter Revolution!

Many classic portable typewriters with carrying cases as well as standard desk models are available.

Have a typewriter that needs "reviving"? Bring it by! Though on-the-spot repairs will not be offered at this event, the drop-off of typewriters for repair will be available.

Brought to you by COAS Books on Main Street, Las Cruces Type Writers, and Typewriter Revival.

With the fall time classic looming around the corner, join Ranger Mike as he talks about America’s pastime, baseball. Soldiers at Fort Selden even took part, on special occasions, playing a game on the parade grounds. This was a common form of recreation for soldiers stationed out west in the latter part of the 1800s.

What goes better with baseball than a hotdog? Ranger Mike will also be firing up the firepit and grilling hot dogs for visitors. Cooking outdoors is contingent on weather and fire restrictions.

Admission $5/adult. Free for children 16 and under. Please call 575-526-8911 for more information. NM I-25, Exit 19, Radium Springs – Follow the signs
