There’s so much history to explore right in our own backyard!
For more than 400 years, Ancestral Pueblo people lived and farmed in what is now Bandelier National Monument, building villages and carving homes into the volcanic cliffs of Frijoles Canyon. Their descendants maintain deep cultural connections to this landscape today. Bandelier became a national monument in 1916, preserving this remarkable history for generations to come.
