The folks in the museum there are so helpful and welcoming. I bought my passes in advance because I wasn’t sure if it would be staffed, but was so happy to see them there. The museum was presented in a respectful way which seemed to take into consideration the many cultures which have moved through that land, and did it in a respectful way.
Sincerely,
Tuzigoot National Monument
Tuzigoot, which is Apache for "crooked water," is the remnant of a Sinaguan village built between 1125 and 1400. It crowns the summit of a long ridge that rises 120 feet over the Verde Valley. The original pueblo was two stories high in places and had 77 ground-floor rooms.
State(s): Arizona
Established: 1939
