New Mexico
This general store from 1880 is now a museum with a rich collection of paraphernalia form Chloride's heyday, including wooden dynamite detonators, farm implements, children's coffins, saddles and explosion-proof telephones used in mines. The store is surrounded by several historic buildings and some are open to the public for poking around.
A cafe opened in the summer of 2019 next to the museum, serving guests from 11am to 6pm Thursday through Monday.
