MESA VERDE CULTURAL & VISITOR CENTER

The first major initiative of the Mesa Verde Foundation is to plan, design, and build the Cultural & Visitor Center. A significant and demonstrated need exists for the Center to preserve, manage, and provide access to the priceless artifacts of Mesa Verde. The Center will welcome and engage visitors, and provide a preview of what they'll see and experience in the Park.

"The American dream has always depended on the dialogue between the present and the past. In our architecture, as in all our other arts--indeed, as in our political and social culture as a whole--ours has been a struggle to formulate and sustain a usable past."
-- Robert A. M. Stern
