Driving Around Roswell, New Mexico

Let's get an overview of Roswell....  It is the county seat of Chaves County.  Over 48,000 people live in this 29.86 square mile city.  Roswell hosts over 175,000 tourists each year.  The vast majority of visitors want to know more about the alien crash landing that occurred here in July 1947.  The Roswell UFO Festival, held each July, celebrates the alien landing and subsequent alien activity in the area.

Walker Air Force Base, the former Strategic Air Command Base, now houses three large commercial aviation maintenance companies and a community college.
