Blackwater Draw NHL and Museum

Blackwater Draw is the world-famous Clovis Culture Type Site and National Historic Landmark.

We have two locations:
Archaeological Site (Sat- Sun 9am-4pm)
Museum (Wed-Sat 9am-12pm, 1pm-5pm & Sunday 12pm-5pm)
The 4th Sunday of every month is free! Blackwater Draw is world-famous for its archaeology and its placement in the chronology of early habitation in the New World. Both the archaeological site (a National Historic Landmark) and the museum are open to visitors; see our website for our hours of operation!

**Blackwater Draw is two separate facilities in two separate locations!
