Do you need a place to host your next event? Look no further than the Western Heritage Museum and Lea County Cowboy Hall of Fame. We have a variety of spaces available for different sized events at a great price. Events we have hosted in the past include meetings, luncheons, banquets, wedding/baby showers, birthday parties, weddings, concerts, book clubs and book signings. We'll work with you on making our spaces work for your event. Be aware that some spaces and options may NOT be available depending on the exhibits in the Museum at the time. Let's take a look at some of the spaces available for rent.
The theater is a great place to host meetings. Our theater-style chairs seat up to 140 and we have a variety of technical options including: projector, dvd/blu-ray, laptop, and sound system. The theater has also been the location of birthday parties with their favorite movies. Other events have included graduations, dance recitals and concerts. Four hours in the theater will cost $250.
If you need a smaller meeting space, our conference room seats up to 15 and costs $50/hr.
Looking for a banquet space? The Chuckwagon Room and our Patio are great options. The Chuckwagon Room availability will depend on what exhibit is in the gallery at the time, but if available, it can seat comfortably 150 people and it will be $250 for the first four hours. The patio is available for day or night events and can sit about 200 people. We have coolers for the summer months. The patio costs $300 for the first four hours.
There are several other spaces you can check out and, if interested, we'll quote you a price. Check out our Rental Agreement for more information or email Darrell Beauchamp at dbeauchamp@nmjc.edu.
