Cliff Dwelling

500 Million-Year-Old Fossil Animals
Time Period: 1245 AD

The Prehistoric Museum's most ambitious exhibit, featuring the ancient cliff dwellers of Southeastern Utah. The exhibit centers around a full-sized, walk-through cliff dwelling apartment, and highlights some of the artifacts recovered from the Westwater (Five Kiva) Cliff Dwelling near Blanding, Utah. A scale-model diorama of this cliff dwelling shows daily life during the cliff dwelling's heyday in 1245 AD.
