This site is a Visitor Center, Information Center, and Chamber of Commerce... all rolled into one.  It was designed to serve both Visitors to Timberon and Property Owners.  Below is a short introduction to Timberon...
   Timberon lies nestled in the Sacramento Mountains in South Central New Mexico and averages out at an altitude of about 7000 feet above sea level. We are surrounded by the 300,000 acre Lincoln National Forest to the north and east, while the military has McGregor Range to south and west. 
   Timberon covers approximately 9,000 acres and is located next to Oliver Lee's historic Circle Cross Ranch.  The best way to get to Timberon is to take the beautiful, paved Scenic Byway out of Cloudcroft towards Sunspot.  This is about a 30 to 45 minute drive.

       The History of Timberon

   The community of Timberon is the most recent addition to an area rich in history. Little is known of what the Indians and Spaniards contributed to this particular part of the Sacramento Mountains, so we will concentrate on the Anglo history, which is fairly well documented.   The earliest recorded history concerning the Timberon area was in 1886 when C.B. Bruton was running cattle in the valley as the Sacramento River and Cattle Company. Bruton had 200 head and was managing another 800 head for Fritzgerald Moore.  Moore was a former Civil War surgeon that lived in El Paso. This arrangement didn�t last for long, as Bruton was arrested and tried for murder in 1889.
