Lowry Pueblo, CO
Excavated in the 1930s, Lowry Pueblo was dedicated as a National Historic Landmark in 1967. It is a 1,000-year-old Ancestral Puebloan village built around AD 1060 and inhabited for about 165 years. The ruin contains a Great Kiva, or ceremonial chamber, a painted Kiva, and a residence block. The painted Kiva offers a look at original painted walls; the Great Kiva is 47 feet across, the largest in this area, and was most likely used as a regional gathering place.
