Dr. Antonio Gennaro Natural History Museum The Dr. Antonio Gennaro Natural History Museum is affiliated with the ENMU Department of Biology. The purpose of the museum is to educate the public about the diversity of life while emphasizing the natural heritage of eastern New Mexico and the greater Southwest, particularly the Llano Estacado. the museum features a live animal exhibit with both native and non-native species. The bulk of the objects contained within the museum were once part of the private collection of amateur
geologists and mineral enthusiasts, Fred and Gladys Miles. They were prolific collectors for 40 years, scouring the Pecos River valley for specimens. They particularly enjoyed finding
native American artifacts and a specific type of
quartz crystal formation referred to as
Pecos Diamonds. For several decades they displayed the majority of their enormous collection at a Texaco
service station in Roswell operated by Mr. Miles, who enjoyed showing it to inquisitive customers.
Miles Anthropology Museum The Miles Anthropology Museum is home to various anthropological and archeological specimens collected by amateur anthropologists Fred and Gladys Miles, as well as to other collections from digs in the region. The private collection of Mr. and Mrs. Miles was also used as the foundation of the
Miles Mineral Museum. Both museums are located in Roosevelt Hall. ==Student life==
