"Retreat!"
is the word which has
defined The Village of
Columbus since it was put on
the map March 9th,
1916 by Pancho Villa and his
raiding Villistas, as
they were being chased back
into Mexico by General
Pershing and the young George Patton.
 Nowadays Columbus is
a retreat from the
daily pressures of a fast
paced, dog-eat-dog, and
inhospitable social climate
that is prevailing in these
uncertain times we're living
in. The Village of Columbus
offers the weariest of souls
a real opportunity to
rejuvenate, relax,
re-center, and to quite
literally "Get away
from it all".
Those that live in, or
frequent Columbus, know the
daily entertainment is
provided by the spectacular
desert views, wildlife and
fauna. All seen through
natures magnificent
lighting
display. It begins with the
peaceful rise of the morning
dawn, to the amazing
purples, blues and pinks of
the twilight hour, merging
into breathtakingly
expansive sunsets. Finishing
nightly with awe striking
moonscapes and the glory of
the stars that can be seen
down to very horizon of the
desert floor itself.
 As you travel to
Columbus, you will
begin to feel the
cares and tares of
the world peel away
along the drive.
Whether you take the
thirty minute drive
south from I-10 at
Deming, NM or come
through Texas and
cut across the open
range of Highway 9
from El Paso in just
over an hour. Either
course will lead you
directly to the
crossroads of
highways 9 and 11.
Otherwise known as
the Village of
Columbus.

 Unless you're driving down
in your RV and planning to
join the "snowbirds"
migrating to the warmer
climate of Columbus during
the winter months landing in
the
Pancho Villa State Park,
when you arrive you'll want
to check-in to
Martha's Place
Hotel for the most
comfortable and home felt
accommodations Columbus has
to offer during your stay. Besides enjoying all the
amenities of your room and
the views from your balcony,
Martha
and Javier's hotel & home is the
"watering hole" for many of
the village's resident
characters. You never know
who may be visiting in the
downstairs foyer or outdoor
patios.
Martha's Place also
serves breakfast &
Friday/Saturday night
dinners, and is the local
Coffee & Espresso bar. Stay
the night or just stop by
for a Free Visitors Guide &
Map of Columbus. You'll be
treated as a local and shown
what small town hospitality
is all about.
  While moving at a slower
pace, and living the simple
life is what you'll enjoy
the most during your visit,
there are some sights to see
and enjoy. You can leisure
around the village and take
the historical walking tour
(Each station is marked with
an etched plaque providing
pictures and info.),
to include our two museums
dedicated to the old
train depot and the old
military base known as Camp
Furlong. (Housed in the
State Park).
If your so
inclined to enjoy a spirit
filled conversation or just
some quiet time to read, or
talk to the man upstairs,
head down to the
Promised Land Chapel, or
any of the local churches in
the village.
 Be
sure to make the time to
travel just 3 miles south to the
border and visit the sleepy
village of
Palomas Mexico.
Tourists
love to dine and shop at the
Pink Store, while
other
visitors come here to avail
themselves to low price,
high quality dental and
optometrist practices. You
can also fill your
prescriptions at a fraction
of the cost!
Give yourself a break,
retreat-a-week in the
Village of Columbus. Who
knows, you may just want to
stay. That's exactly how
most our newcomers find
themselves
living here.
