The Homolovi Ruins State Park near Flagstaff, Arizona in Winslow is a unique window into the world of the Anasazi people. This is the first archaeological state park in Arizona. There are many pieces that make up the park. There are four large pueblo sites. These sites were where the Anasazi people lived during the timeframe of about 1200 and 1425 A. D. The state park is a total of 340 acres large. Visitors are able to enjoy a range of exhibits and educational buildings here, all of which hope to tell the story of these people and what life was like during this time period.
Some of the exhibits include special workshops specific to the trades that the Native American's used. There are special programs designed to show and help people to interact with the way of life of this time. Nearly all of the exhibits are on Native American culture and the history of this region. These programs are scheduled throughout the year.
Visitors to the Homolovi Ruins State Park are able to camp at any of the campsites that are available. There are hiking trails throughout the area, including through some of the most beautiful landscapes around. Picnic areas are also available here. Those that wish to learn more about the Anasazi people or the area can take on a guided tour. You will need to contact the state park officials to book this event ahead of time, though. It is an excellent way to learn the in depth details of who and what these people were.
