Love and Mystery Dinner at Lordsburg-Hidalgo County Museum Feb. 14 Tickets $35

The Lordsburg‑Hidalgo County Museum will host the "Love and Mystery Dinner" on Feb. 14, 2026, with doors opening at 5:00 p.m. and dinner served at 6:00 p.m. Admission is $35 per person. Organizers are promoting an evening that blends dining, role play and period dress at the museum, 710 E. 2nd Street, Lordsburg, New Mexico.

Promotional copy invites guests to "Bring your Valentine." Attendees are encouraged to "Dress up in your best roaring 1920s costume" and to "Play a leading part in a mystery." Social posts linked to the event add a theatrical edge, urging people to "Join the Lordsburg MainStreet and Lordsburg‑Hidalgo County Museum ... Join us for an unforgettable dinner event where love, murder and mystery." Leap Into Lordsburg and Lordsburg MainStreet appear as the primary local outlets listing the event.

The dinner is notable for its interactive format, which shifts community outings from passive attendance to active participation. For Hidalgo County residents, the event represents a practical way to support local cultural programming and to draw visitors into downtown Lordsburg on a traditionally quiet mid‑winter weekend. Small events like this also generate foot traffic for nearby businesses and raise the profile of museum programming outside standard exhibit hours.

Practical details beyond price and times are limited in public listings. No ticket purchase link, RSVP instructions, capacity limits, or menu information is provided in current event materials.
