Salmon Ruins, Archaeological ruins in San Juan County, United States.
The site contains a three-story pueblo structure with 275 rooms, a central tower kiva, and a great kiva situated in the outdoor plaza.
The Ancestral Puebloans constructed this settlement around 1090 CE as a colony of Chaco Canyon, occupying it until a fire occurred in 1280.
The museum displays over 1.5 million artifacts recovered during excavations, representing the technological and social practices of ancient Pueblo communities.
The museum operates daily from 10 AM to 4 PM, charging adults $4, seniors $3, and children ages 6-16 $1 for admission.
