Coronado Historic Site

Reviewed By LaurettaYoung - Portland, United States

The exhibits are very well done. Especially the actual Kiva pairings which were removed from original excavation. The tour was informative with the ability to enter the restored kiva. Learning about the history of the native peoples gave me such an appreciation of their hard work and ingenuity. So sad to read about the Spanish enslavement and killing of peaceful farmers with the extinction of their customs and spiritual beliefs. this really was worth a couple of hours with the video, exhibits, tour and walk along the Rio Grande. Thank you to our tour guide!
