The Wortley Hotel :: Lincoln, New Mexico
The Wortley Hotel, located in the historic town of Lincoln, New Mexico, was built in 1872 by L.G. Murphy and was once owned by Sheriff Pat Garrett. Sitting in a rocker on the long front porch, it is easy to conjure up images of the Lincoln County wars. Deputy Bob Ollinger took his “last meal” in the Wortley dining room; when he heard the gunshots, he ran across the street and was shot dead by Billy the Kid. Already having killed Deputy J.W. Bell, Billy stole a horse and escaped. The Wortley Hotel is for sale, visit and make your own history.
