Family Game Day at the Las Cruces Railroad Museum

Cup-and-Ball Toss has a long history in America as a child’s toy, and was played as early as the 16th century in France. The tradition of playing Jacks can be traced back to Ancient Greece, and generations of children have developed dozens of game variations. The origin of Dominos can be traced to 13th century China before they made their way to Europe in the 18th century to eventually become the game we’re familiar with today.

Come into the Las Cruces Railroad Museum on Saturday, March 14th between 10 am and 12 noon to have fun as our forefathers did. Bring your family or challenge your friends!
