You can wander through (or just look at them from the road) painstakingly preserved Pueblo Indian structures relocated from McElmo Canyon in southern Colorado in the early 1900s. While they were relocated just over 100 years ago, the structures themselves date back centuries before Colorado was even a state. As you walk through 40 unique rooms, you’ll get a picture of what life was like for the indigenous peoples of the region, how they lived, what they ate, where they slept and what they did for fun.
