WINGFIELD HOUSE HERITAGE CENTER Rehabilitation Update

The Wingfield House restoration project is moving rapidly through Phase 2. Interior work on the building nears completion, as well as all plumbing, HVAC, and electrical work. In addition, the interior walls are framed and sheet rocked in preparation for painting and finishes. Landscaping for the building is progressing as weather permits and should be completed by late spring or early summer 2023.

The Village of Ruidoso’s new curator Stephanie Bilbro has been working diligently on developing the initial permanent exhibit for the Heritage Center. Exhibit furniture and displays are currently being ordered and prepared for installation.

The new Village Cultural and Natural History Committee will work with the Wingfield House Heritage Center Manager and staff to recommend new programs, exhibits, and collection acquisitions to the governing body. The Village Council has also approved a Fine Arts Collection policy that will guide the acquisition of donated and loaned artifacts for use in the museum and elsewhere in the village.

All indicators point toward a summer 2023 opening!
