Review:
Ancestral Pueblo life has been a part of this region for thousands of years, and it stands apart from many other places in the world due to the sheer volume of archaeological evidence. At the Chapin Mesa Archeological Museum, which is located inside Mesa Verde National Park, visitors can explore exhibits detailing the lives and culture of Ancestral Puebloans, including some ancient artifacts that pre-date written history itself, visit Spruce Tree House, an ancient cliff dwelling, and watch a short film about the history of the area. The museum is open to visitors year round, though it is closed on some holidays and its hours change seasonally.
