WHITE OAKS, NM

White Oaks Historical Association is a non-profit organization located in the small town of White Oaks in Lincoln County, New Mexico. The association's primary objective is to preserve and promote the rich history and cultural heritage of the town. White Oaks was founded in the late 19th century and was a booming mining town until the early 20th century when the mines closed down. Today, the town is home to a few hundred residents and is a popular tourist destination.

The White Oaks Historical Association was established in 1975 by a group of local residents who were passionate about preserving the town's history. The association operates the White Oaks Schoolhouse Museum, which is housed in the town's historic schoolhouse building. The museum features exhibits on the town's mining history, early settlers, and local wildlife. Other attractions in the town include the No Scum Allowed Saloon, which is the oldest continuously operating saloon in New Mexico, and the White Oaks Cemetery, which is the final resting place of many of the town's early residents.

The White Oaks Historical Association also hosts a variety of events throughout the year, including an annual Fourth of July parade and celebration, a fall festival, and a Christmas bazaar. The association is run entirely by volunteers and relies on donations and grants to continue its important work of preserving the town's history and promoting tourism in the area.
