Aztec Attractions

Aztec Ruins National Monument is in the far northwest of New Mexico, on the border with Colorado. Settlers who reached this area around 1800 found a settlement of the Pueblo Indians and thought it was an Aztec town. The settlement, which was occupied between 1100 and 1300, consists of 400 rooms. There is a museum illustrating the old Indian culture.

The Aztec Museum Pioneer Village can be found on Main Street in Aztec. Reconstructed buildings on the grounds include a blacksmith shop, sheriff's office, post office, and the Cedar Hill Church.
