Married to a Jewish merchant in Deming, NM, Ella Klauber Wormser took what may be the only photographs documenting the transition from cattle drives to rail transport in the late 1880s. Her contribution is but one of many made by Jewish pioneer families to the ranching heritage of New Mexico.
At 2 pm on Sunday, Oct. 27, the museum joins with the New Mexico Jewish Historical Society and Temple Beth Shalom to present “Nice Jewish Cowboys and Cowgirls” in the History Museum auditorium. The event is part of the exhibit Cowboys Real and Imagined. Free with admission; Sundays are free to NM residents.
