Aztec Ruins Administration Building-Museum

The Aztec Ruins Administration Building features traditional adobe walls, flat roofs, and exposed wooden beams characteristic of New Mexican architectural heritage.

Earl Halstead Morris designed this 1919 structure as part of the broader initiative to preserve archaeological sites across the American Southwest.

The museum displays artifacts and exhibits that document the daily activities, construction methods, and social structures of Ancestral Puebloan communities.

Visitors can obtain National Park Service passport stamps, join guided tours, and access educational materials about the archaeological site throughout the year.

The building incorporates architectural elements from both ancient Pueblo constructions and Spanish colonial designs, creating a distinct New Mexican identity.
