The historic Dowlin's OLD MILL, the oldest building in Ruidoso New Mexico, was built in 1868 by Captain Paul Dowlin and his brother, Will.

The Old Mill was a grist mill, saw mill, bean thrasher, black smith shop, general store and (legend has it) a place to purchase, "moonshine", from 1868 to the turn of the 20th Century. The town of Ruidoso was actually called "Dowlin's Mill" in the early days Visit the Dowlin’ Old Mill Website for more info...
