The Hearst Church is located in historic Pinos Altos, New Mexico. It was built in 1898 by the Hearst family of newspaper fame and now serves as home to the Grant County Art Guild. The gold used in decorating the Hearst Castle in California came from the local Hearst Mine. The church houses the hearse used to carry the body of Pat Garrett, the lawman who killed Billy the Kid.
During the summer months, the southwestern NM church is transformed into an art gallery, featuring arts and crafts created by about 50 local artists. The gallery is open 10- 5, Fri-Sun each week from May through early October. For more info visit the Art Guild website: http://www.gcag.org/
