Museum in Maricopa County, Arizona.
Although the museum is best known for its paleontology collections and dinosaur exhibits, they also have exhibits of artifacts from pre-contact southwest cultures. There are also reconstructions of ancient buildings, based on the museum's own excavations in the area, displayed in front of murals.

The museum researchers and a group of volunteers have excavated portions of the Mesa Grande pueblo and are working to stabilize the adobe and stone platform mound there to prevent erosion.

For hours of operation and other details see the museum's website.
