Roswell is best known for the 1947 incident that made it the world capital of UFO lore, and its downtown leans into the story with alien-themed streetlights and storefronts. Behind the kitsch is a working regional center for southeastern New Mexico: dairies, alfalfa and pecan farms, ranching, a large cheese plant, healthcare and the New Mexico Military Institute. The Roswell Air Center, a former Air Force base with one of the longest runways in the region, is an aircraft storage and maintenance site where airliners are parked in the dry desert air.

The drive from Albuquerque or Lubbock takes about three hours, and Roswell sits far from any airline hub. Flying private brings agricultural buyers, energy and aviation businesses and visitors in quickly, and the Sacramento Mountains and Ruidoso are a little over an hour west. Visitors come for the International UFO Museum, the Roswell Museum’s collection on rocket pioneer Robert Goddard, who did much of his research here, the Anderson Museum of Contemporary Art and the sinkhole lakes of Bottomless Lakes State Park.
