Socorro County has some of the most extensive and diverse history in New Mexico. History must be preserved for present and future generations, or it will be lost. The Socorro County Historical Society (SCHS) is looking for "new blood." Many current members and the Board of Directors are aging. It is important to pass on our knowledge of Socorro County history, locations of historic sites, find new custodians of the Society's artifact holdings, and the historic Hammel Brewery and Museum building. If you are interested in learning more about Socorro history and helping SCHS share and preserve our history, contact one of the Board of Directors listed to the left, or email us at:

Upcoming Events
Oktoberfest 2026
Oktoberfest 2026 on Oct. 3rd was a fun, yummy day with good participation by all. The SCHS Board of Directors would like
to thank the many people who volunteered their time and talents in making Oktoberfest a successful event. This includes our
musical groups, the belly dancers, the cooks and food servers, the Garden Club, book sale, to all those that helped with cleaning,
the yard, and all the other "behind the scenes" tasks. To the Capitol Bar with their locally brewed beers specifically for Oktoberfest,
and being our licensed servers. And, to all who attended in support of the Socorro County Historical Society.

Historical Society Board meetings are NOT held during December, January and February.
