Tusayan Ruins and Museum

Arizona's Grand Canyon National Park is home of what is considered to be a major archeological site by the National Park Service. This is the Tusayan Pueblo also known as the Tusayan Ruins which are part of a Pueblo Indian site dating back eight centuries. Arizona State Route 64's Desert View Drive is where it can be found three miles to the Desert View Watchtower's west. In 1974 it was placed on the National Historic Places Register.

The Museum opens at nine in the morning and closes at five in the evening each day. There is no charge for admission. Those visiting the facility can take a self guided tour along the trail to see the centuries old ruins. The Tusayan Ruins and Museum is located along the East Rim Drive. The ruins were not completely excavated on purpose and visitors today enjoy actual ruins instead of a reconstructed facility.

Anyone in the area that would like to get a look back in time should visit the Grand Canyon National Park's Tusayan Ruins and Museum. The trail around the ruins is rather easy to navigate since it is just a circle around them. Anyone wishing to obtain additional information should contact the National Park Service directly.
