Overview

Our Legendary Tour of Pancho Villa's Border Crossing will transport you back to the original site of the infamous raid on the US Village of Columbus, NM.

America's first 9/11 happened at approximately 4:12 a.m. March 9th, 1916 when 600+ “Villaistas” raided Columbus Army's Camp. 8 soldiers, 10 civilians and 200+ villaistas were killed.

TOUR - Starting at the Cemetery to see the grave sites of the fallen soldiers and civilians from that explosive morning in and around the village and Camp Furlong military base.

See the planes, tanks, and all the historical artefacts and fort ruins at the State Park or Museum.

Take the historical walking tour throughout the small city centre of the village.

Tour the Railway museum featuring the wall clock stopped in time by a bullet.

By the end of this fun and factual historical event tour you're going to understand why the name “Pancho Villa” is known worldwide!
