Cliff Dwellings Reopen
More than 750 years ago, Pueblo Indians built cliff dwellings just outside Santa Fe, New Mexico. They lived there until drought drove them away around 1580.
In modern times, people have toured the Puye Cliff Dwellings, which became a national historic landmark in 1966. But a massive fire forced their closure in 2000.
In May, the cliff dwellings reopened to the public. The Santa Clara Pueblo, descendants of the cliff dwellers, own and run the site. They’re now providing tours of the ruins—with the starting point at an early 1900s Harvey House, the only one ever built on an Indian Reservation.
