Stayed at Trailer Village RV Park in Roswell. Of course, Roswell is best known for the Alien spacecraft which crashed here in 1947. Or did it?
We opted to find out what else Roswell is known for.

Spaniards took the land away from the Apache and Comanche in the 1500s. Then Texas cattle ranchers drove  herds there to sell to the Army and Colorado miners. Billy the Kid surrendered nearby, but escaped and was later captured by Sheriff Pat Garrett.

In 1890 the population was 340. Soon after it was discovered that Roswell was sitting on one of the country's largest artesian wells. Eventually, Roswell developed into dairyland. Over 94,000 dairy cows are milked at over 30 dairies currently. Roswell also boasts the largest Mozzarella cheese plant in the world.

Other notables...the Enola Gay was originally based here and Robert Goddard, the original rocket scientist, developed rocket propulsion. All of his original tools and many of his prototype rockets are housed in a museum.
