Description
U.S. Highway 70 runs right through Organ, New Mexico, which is on a list of "Ghost Towns" in the state. This old, burned-out, rundown, abandoned, dilapidated Garage, as well as a few other buildings of the same ilk will support that classification.
Having said that, there is a Mobile Home Park across the highway, as well as a non-descript Thai restaurant. There are also a number of more modern inhabited homes scattered around the immediate area, and Organ even has a Post Office.
Pat Garrett (yes, THAT Pat Garrett) had a ranch a little bit east and north of Organ and he did some of his trading here. He was even murdered about 6 or 7 miles west of town while on his way to Las Cruces.
"Ghost Town"? Well...it's complicated.
