White Oaks Miner’s Home Museum and White Oaks Miner’s Tool Shed Museum. White Oaks grew rapidly after the first gold claim was filed in 1879. It went from a tent city to a bustling town with cultural events. But even before the close of the 19th century, the luster started to fade. A restored 1800s family home from the gold-boom era. Photos, drawings, self-guided tour. The nearby cemetery is the resting spot for the first governor of New Mexico, Susan McSween Barber and deputy J.W. Bell.
