Fantastic small free museum with book store for Mimbres info. The interpretive cards are detailed and easy to read. Don't miss the lower floor and be sure to open the drawers to see 1000 year old yucca woven sandals and other small artifacts.

Simple, clean excellent Museum to check out the history of American Indian Peoples, how they lived and how they fashioned tools and pottery. In a way, it's boring but if you look at and enjoy history, well worth the visit and there is no charge.
