Our Landmark Renovation! For nearly 150 years, the Magoffin Home State Historic Site has stood as a proud symbol of El Paso’s vibrant, multicultural borderland heritage. Today, this treasured adobe homestead is at a pivotal crossroads. We have embarked on an extensive, multi-million-dollar restoration project to preserve its historic walls for the next century. Because the main historic home (1120 Magoffin Ave.) is temporarily closed for these crucial renovations, we need our community’s passion and support now more than ever. While our structures are being carefully restored, our mission to educate and inspire never stops. The Magoffin Home Visitor Center remains fully open right across the street at 1117 Magoffin Ave., continuing to serve as a bustling hub for community education, lectures, and cultural events. But to keep these public programs alive and to safeguard our region’s history during this transition, we rely on people like you.
