A square kiva, excavated in the south plaza of the community in the 1930's, contained many layers of mural paintings.  These murals represent some of the finest examples of Pre-Columbian mural art in North America.  Both the kiva and one of the mural layers are reconstructed and open to visitors, by a ladder through a hatchway in the roof, while several of the preserved mural segments are open to viewing in the mural room of the visitor center.   The visitor center also contains prehistoric and historic Indian and Spanish colonial artifacts exhibits with several hands-on components.
