Edge of the Cedars State Park Museum, Archaeological research museum in Blanding, United States.

Edge of the Cedars State Park Museum in Blanding combines an Ancestral Puebloan archaeological site, a museum and an archaeological repository. The grounds hold the remains of an ancient village, and the museum displays pottery and other objects from southeast Utah. The repository, finished in 1994, stores materials excavated from public lands in the region.

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 name comes from cowboys from Bluff who camped here in the late 19th century; "cedar" is the local word for the Utah juniper. The museum, opened in 1978, presents the history and culture of the Ancestral Puebloan peoples of southeast Utah, and its repository, completed in 1994, holds excavated materials, archives and a research library.

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.

Cowboys from Bluff camped here in the late 19th century and gave the site its name: it sits on the edge of a natural boundary between a heavily forested region and treeless land to the south. "Cedar" is the local word for the Utah juniper.
