| Site Summary: Spanish explorer Coronado and his party camped near the Tiwa pueblo of Kuaua ("evergreen") in 1540. By the time that Oñate arrived in this area in 1598, the village was largely abandoned. The Visitor's Center contains exhibits on the Rio Grande Valley's prehistory and history. Murals, which were removed from a kiva at the site, are now on display in the museum. The kiva where the murals were recovered from has been rebuilt and is open to the public with reproductions of the original murals adorning its walls. |
