Los Cerrillos
The sun-drenched ghost town of Los Cerrillos, (Little Hills) lies quiet today, but it was host to many notables like Theodore Roosevelt and Lew Wallace, a former Governor of N.M. and who also wrote “Ben Hur”.
When gold was discovered in the 1800’s Cerillos was a whangdoodle western wide-open town. It hadn’t changed much over the years to 1958 when Walt Disney came and filmed the “Nine Lives of Elfego Baca” using the main Saloon which still stands today, in the same old way.
