Roof Replacement Project

WE DID IT!
Thanks to our volunteers, friends, donators and Freeport McMoRan we will soon begin our roof restoration on the Mimbres Culture Heritage Site Wood House roof! Five years of hard work, generous donators and a grant from the mine, our goal and dream is now a reality. We will keep you all posted on the progress once work begins. THANK YOU EVERYONE!
The work is set to begin the week of May 25, 2020.

History

The Mimbres people lived here about 1,000 years ago, and as far back as 1883, the site has attracted the interest of archaeologists.
In 1929-30, the first scientific excavation was led by Paul Nesbitt of the Logan Museum.
