I'd have given it more stars but it is a bit small and a bunch of Colorado's history has been omitted I think due to that. BUT, they have some great history of the Utes and NA tribes of the area in general. There is an awesome collection of weaving bowls and pottery including some really rare pots/cauldrons. I was hoping for more mining stuff but a bunch on the Spanish exploration was included. My favorite was a collection of early metallic cartridge guns including colt army and an early Henry repeater. It is only $7 for an adult and if you like history you will find something there to make it money well spent.

Very interesting experience. Had the history of the area from old civilizations to the modern day. Old weaponry, pottery. A few exhibits with "hands on" allowed. A tower that you can take an elevator up to and see a view of the whole Grand Junction Valley. A must-see!!!

The tower is worth the price of admission all by itself. Best view of the whole valley from right downtown. When the elevator door opens behind you and you turn around, the National Monument greets you in all its glory, breathtaking, then its 360 degrees of awesomeness. I was a little disappointed there were no exhibits describing the first settlers in the area but all in all it was a great experience.

I had to drag my grandson and grand daughter out the door when it was time to go! They loved every exhibit and couldn't wait to get to next one. Of course going up the the Tower is a special treat!
