This park protects a set Sinagua cliff dwellings, inhabited from about 700-1400 CE. These are some of the best-preserved cliff dwellings in North America. The dwellings themselves cannot be entered, but a short interpretive trail leads to some good viewing areas. Also onsite are a small museum displaying Sinagua artifacts, and a gift shop. A separate site (included with admission ticket) protects Montezuma Well, a natural limestone sinkhole fed by two springs.
A small museum with exhibits on the pre-Columbian Sinagua culture, an introduction on archaeological research, and a display prepared by the Yavapai-Apache Nation.
This historic fort was established in the 1880s during the Apache Wars. It is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places and houses a museum with historic displays. Annually in mid-October it is the site of Fort Verde Days, which feature historic reenactments and demonstrations.
