Chapin Mesa Archeological Museum

Chapin Mesa Archeological Museum Review

This is an excellent first stop for an introduction to Ancestral Puebloan culture as well as the area's development into a national park. Exhibits showcase original textiles and other artifacts, and a theater plays a well-done movie every 30 minutes. Rangers are available to answer your questions, and there's also a sign-in sheet for hiking trails. The museum sits at the south end of the park entrance road and overlooks Spruce Tree House. Nearby, you'll find park headquarters, a gift shop, snack bar, and bathrooms.
