Edge of the Cedars State Park Museum
Edge of the Cedars State Park Museum, Archaeological research museum in Blanding, United States.
Edge of the Cedars State Park Museum is an archaeological museum in Utah that focuses on artifacts found throughout the region. The grounds include the remains of an ancient village and a restored ceremonial chamber where you can see how early residents lived and gathered.
The village at this location was built around 1200 years ago and was home to people for several centuries before they moved away. The site reveals how human settlement changed and evolved across generations in this part of the region.
The museum displays works created by the people who lived in this region centuries ago, showing how they expressed their daily life through clay and craft. You can see the objects they made and used, giving you a sense of who they were.
Visit in the late morning or early afternoon when it is less crowded and you can look around comfortably. The grounds are mostly open to visitors, but wear comfortable shoes and bring water since it can get hot and sunny.
The museum houses a rare macaw feather sash that shows how far-reaching trade networks were in this area, extending all the way to Central America. This single object tells a surprising story about connections between distant cultures.
