Anasazi Heritage Center/Canyons of the Ancients National Monument
A unique part of the San Juan Field Office is the Anasazi Heritage Center located just west of Dolores. The Heritage Center is a museum of the Ancestral Puebloan (or Anasazi) culture and other cultures in the Four Corners region, in addition to serving as the headquarters for Canyons of the Ancients National Monument.
The museum features permanent exhibits, archaeological sites to visit, new and different special exhibits and events, traveling exhibits for loan, educational resources for teachers and a large research collection from the Dolores Archaeological Program and other archaeological projects.
The San Juan Field Office (Bureau of Land Management) and the San Juan National Forest (Forest Service) are pioneering a concept known as Service First. Service First is a partnership strategy to provide better customer service and be more cost effective in the delivery of that service to users of the public land in southwest Colorado.
The San Juan Public Lands Center is the only organization in the country providing leadership in all aspects of land management for the two agencies as one unit. Shared FS/BLM offices in Pagosa Springs, Durango, and Dolores oversee the three San Juan National Forest Ranger Districts, BLM Field Offices, and Canyons of the Ancients National Monument.
