The Artesia Historical Museum and Art Center, located in the unique Moore-Ward cobblestone house, showcases local and area history through exhibits in the main house, featuring photographs, Native American artifacts, farm and ranch displays, and a hands-on children's room. The Art Annex gallery next door offers rotating exhibits, local art shows, traveling exhibits, and temporary in-house displays.
Since its opening in 1970, the museum has grown and expanded with the support of the City of Artesia, and the Artesia Historical Museum Art Center Foundation was established in 1982 to provide financial flexibility and administer gifts for the benefit of the entire community. The museum also offers special programs, extensive outreach services, and preservation projects, preserving and making accessible the rich heritage of the Artesia community.
