Columbus Retreating
  by Addison B. Bachman


"Retreat!"
is the word which has defined The Village of Columbus since it was put on the map May 8th, 1916 by Pancho Villa and his raiding Villistas  as they were being chased back into Mexico by General Pershing and George Patton.

Nowadays Columbus is a retreat from the daily pressures of a fast paced, dog-eat-dog, and inhospitable social climate that is prevailing in these uncertain times we're living in. The Village of Columbus offers the weariest of souls a real opportunity to rejuvenate, relax, re-center, and to quite literally "Get away from it all".

 


Those that live in, or frequent Columbus know the daily entertainment is provided by the spectacular desert views, wildlife and fauna, all seen through natures magnificent lighting display. It begins with the peaceful rise of the morning dawn, to the amazing purples, blues and pinks of the twilight hour, merging into breathtakingly expansive sunsets. Finishing nightly with awe striking moonscapes and the glory of the stars that can be seen down to very horizon of the desert floor itself.

As you travel to Columbus, you will begin to feel the cares and tares of the world peel away along the drive. Whether you take the thirty minute drive south from I-10 at Deming, NM or come through Texas and cut across the open range of Highway 9 from El Paso in just over an hour. Either course will lead you directly to the crossroads of

  highways 9 and 11. Otherwise known as the Village of Columbus.

Unless you're driving down in your RV and planning to join the "snowbirds" migrating to the warmer climate of Columbus during the winter months landing in the Pancho Villa State Park, when you arrive you'll want to check-in to Martha's Place Bed & Breakfast for the most comfortable and home felt accommodations Columbus has to offer for your stay with us. Besides enjoying all the amenities of your room and the views from your balcony, Martha and Javier's home is the "watering hole" for many of the village's resident characters. You never know who may be visiting in the downstairs foyer and living room.  But you will be treated as a local and shown what small town hospitality is all about.

While moving at a slower pace, and living the simple life is what you'll enjoy the most during your visit, there are some sights to see and enjoy. You can leisure around the village and take the historical walking tour to include our two museums dedicated to the old train depot and the old military base known as Camp Furlong. (Housed in the State Park). Or you can head just 3 miles south to the border and visit the sleepy village of Palomas Mexico. Tourists love to dine and shop at the Pink Store, while many visitors come here to avail themselves to low price, high quality dental and optometrist practices. You can also fill your prescriptions at a fraction of the cost! If your so inclined to enjoy a spirit filled conversation or just some quiet time to read, or talk to the man upstairs, head down to the Promised Land Chapel.

Give yourself a break, retreat-a-week in the Village of Columbus. Who knows, you may just want to stay. That's exactly how most our newcomers find themselves living here.
