Organ, New Mexico
Home Up

 

Organ is in Doña Ana (pronounced "doan-yana") County along US 70 about 10 miles east of Las Cruces along the road to the White Sands Missile Range, White Sands National Monument, and the city of Alamogordo.  Being right along a major highway, it has not remained very ghostly, and, with one exception, I was unable to discern any of the buildings shown in either Varney's or the Shermans' books.  Both books prominently feature a photo of an old schoolhouse, which I was able to find, and of a general store, which I couldn't.

 

This photo is from page 165 of the Shermans' book.  It is not contemporary with their visit, but rather was taken at the turn of the 20th century.

 

This photo of the old schoolhouse appears on page 151 of Varney's book, and it is contemporary with their visit about 1980.  The cupola visible in the top photo is still present in this one.

 

This is a photo of the old schoolhouse taken by my on April 9, 2002.  The cupola is gone, and an addition to the building was added on its south side.  The view is apparently from the opposite side as in the photos above.  Note the small window to the left of the door on the the left side.  This window is visible (barely) in the Varney photo, but it was not there in 1900, as can be seen in the photo from the Shermans' book at the top above.  (The shadow in the left foreground is of me snapping the photo, and the shadow to the right of mine is of my van.  It was late in the day when this photo was taken.)

 

 

The above photo is of the former Bentley's General Store appearing on page 164 of the Shermans' book, and the photo is contemporary with their visit in the early 1970s.  The photo below appears on page 151 of Varney's book.  This building is featured prominently in both books, with the Sherman book giving it three photos taken over the years from 1915 to their visit in the early 1970s.

I could not locate this building or what might have once been this building during my visit in April 2002.  It appeared that many of the buildings had undergone remodeling, and then remodeling of remodeling, over the years, and I wouldn't be surprised if its vestiges still exist in some form or as part of some building.  But I couldn't find it.
