During the 12th century, ancestral Puebloan people, called “Anasazi” by the Navajo, lived here until around 1175 A. D. Major excavations at the Coombs Site in 1958 and 1959 uncovered the remains of 97 rooms, 10 pit houses, and hundreds of thousands of artifacts including pots, bowls, mugs, and effigies. On July 10, 1970, Anasazi State Park Museum was officially dedicated to preserve the site for all to enjoy.
