Smokey Bear Historical Park

Central region of New Mexico Completed in 1979, the Park was established to honor Capitan's favorite son Smokey, the little bear cub found with burned paws after a 17,000 acre forest fire in 1950 on the Capitan Mountains. You'll find exhibits about forest health, forest fires, wildland/urban interface issues, and fire ecology. An outdoor exhibit features six of the vegetative life zones found in New Mexico and an outdoor amphitheater, as well as a playground, picnic area, and the town's original train depot.
