The Blackwater Draw Museum cares for collections originating throughout the Southwest and Southern High Plains regions. We were originally established to house materials excavated from the Blackwater Draw National Landmark, but have since grown to include materials from Cultural Resource Management, various federal agencies (e.g. Bureau of Land Management), and private collections.
