Live!
Does your curiosity lean toward the Precambrian or Paleolithic, toward cultural preservation, permaculture — or counter-culture? Do your interests pertain to the archeological, geologic, or biological? Does your idea of vintage conjure up images of a vineyard, a rare vinyl find, or an antique armoire? If you resonate with life-long education, or the perfect place to edit your memoir, this is the place where more of your story will unfold. At 5900 feet in elevation, Silver City is a breath of fresh air.
