Within the Visitors’ Center are audio-visual displays, a fully-loaded covered wagon, photos of early residents, and a gift shop. Upstairs you will find quilts, works by local artists, and a dance floor. Bluff Fort is comprised of family-sponsored cabins representative of those built before 1895. The oldest anglo-built structure in San Juan County still stands within Bluff Fort! Step inside a genuine Navajo hogan and Ute tepee. Visit the blacksmith shop, and climb aboard a covered wagon, or pull an authentic pioneer handcart.
Take a picture. Have a picnic.
Visitors Welcome After Hours:
During off hours, buildings are closed, but visitors are welcome to stroll through the site, take a photo with a covered wagon or peek through the windows of the pioneer cabins. A memorial wall honors those who made the 1879-80 journey.
Our staff is ready to show you around and answer your questions.
