Center of the turbulent Lincoln County War, 1876-1879, a land and cattle feud marked by violence on both sides.  Lincoln's historic landmarks include the Murphy-Dolan Store, which later became the Lincoln County Courthouse, the store of John Henry Tunstall, whose murder set off the hostilities, and the house of Alexander McSween, where the final battle was fought.
