About Crow Canyon

Founded in 1983, the Crow Canyon Archaeological Center is dedicated to understanding, teaching, and helping to preserve the rich history of the ancestral Pueblo people (also called the Anasazi) of the American Southwest. See print brochure for more information.

What We Do:

Conduct long-term archaeological research into the ancestral Pueblo Indians of the American Southwest, with a focus on the Mesa Verde region in southwestern Colorado

Teach the public about archaeology, history, and culture through a variety of hands-on experiences:

• experiential education programs for children, teens, and teachers; includes field trips, multiday programs, and professional-development opportunities

• excavation and laboratory programs for adults and families

• online educational resources for teachers, students, and the general public

• travel programs in the American Southwest and around the world

Collaborate with American Indians on a wide variety of initiatives of mutual interest, including research projects, education curricula, and language- and cultural-preservation programs
