Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Culturally rich and diverse, there was a lot for archaeologists to discover when they finally starting excavating and digging at the area in and around Trinidad. A wealth of discoveries and many amazing finds later led to the establishment of the Trinidad State Jr. College Archaeology Department and, soon after, the Louden-Henritze Archaeology Museum. At the museum, visitors can examine a great deal of finds from the time that Trinidad was a seabed. For example, there are all kinds of dinosaur bones on display at the museum, alongside ancient pottery, representations of ancient village life, and even the fossils of fish that once lived around the area of the Santa Fe Trail.
