Anasazi Heritage Center, Canyons of the Ancients National Monument

The Anasazi Heritage Center is a premier museum, interpretation center, and archaeological laboratory and conservancy center. The property also preserves and protects the Escalante and Dominuez Pueblo ruins.

Escalante Pueblo kiva is surrounded by a room block. Note Mt. Wilson and the Rocky mountains.

Escalante Pueblo is located on the hilltop above the museum. The site commands a vast viewscape.

An interpretive trail leads to the hilltop and Escalante Pueblo.

The Center features a theatre, a bookstore and gift shop, and the large museum.

The Dolores Archaeological Project was conducted before McPhee Reservoir inundated part of the Dolores River Valley and numerous ancient village sites. A wealth of archaeological information was obtained.

Part of the museum display recreates an excavated pithouse structure.
