Sometimes the outlaws from Hillsboro would be housed in the jail and when it was overcrowded they were relocated to Kingston, NM down the road.
Courthouse: The county seat was housed in Hillsboro where a beautiful two story courthouse was constructed on the hill. This is all that remains. Most of the bricks were relocated to Truth or Consequences, down the road. Dad said T/C used to be called Hot Spring but was renamed after the popular radio program. Hillsboro is trying to restore the building but it looks like it'll take a lot of dinero.
