Square Tower House, Mesa Verde

    (The following story is included on the back)

 

 

 

 

Text Box: Square Tower House in Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado was built and occupied from 1200 A.D. until around 1300 A.D. It originally had 80 rooms and 7 kin kivas, one of which has been used as a standard in the restoration of other kivas in Mesa Verde. Below the ruin is an excellent spring which would have provided convenient water. Hand and toe holds carved into the sandstone provided access to the mesa top where crops and other water sources were located. This life- giving resource sustained the population of Square Tower House until the area was abandoned during the Great Migration when the Mesa Verdeans may have moved to the Taos and Santa Fe, New Mexico area around 1375 A.D.
