Edge of the Cedars State Park Museum

The family-friendly museum complex houses the largest collection of Ancestral Puebloan pottery and relics in southeastern Utah, including an excavated and restored kiva (a partially subterranean ceremonial room within a pueblo), giving visitors a glimpse into the ancient life of Anasazi lifestyle and architecture. As you travel through the park, you will get to check out petroglyphs, Puebloan basketry, jewelry, pottery, tools, a Horse Rock Ruin basketry collection, a Macaw feather sash, and a loom from the middle of the first millennium excavated from San Juan County. The archaeological repository, with its archives and a research library, is used to house most of the archaeological materials excavated from public lands in southeast Utah.

Guided tours of the ancient site are available, during which you will see the archaeological exhibits, walk or hike the interpretive nature trail, and visit the restored dwellings, exhibit halls, auditorium and gift shop. There are no facilities for food in the park, but all services are available in the city of Blanding.

Day-use entry fee required, purchase in-person or online. The Annual Utah State Park Pass is accepted for park entry.
