Roosevelt, AZ - The Salt River Project will be working on updating critical powerline infrastructure near Tonto National Monument on July 10th. Because of the power outage and impacts to visitor safety, Tonto National Monument will be closed all day Monday.
Also, on Tuesday, July 11th and Wednesday, July 12th, the museum will be partially closed due to curators working on needed artifact conservation. Thank you for your patience and please look forward to some additions to the exhibits coming soon.
Tonto National Monument protects two cliff dwellings built by the Salado people over 700 years ago. Established as a national monument in 1907 by President Teddy Roosevelt, the cliff dwellings were part of the early archaeological preservation movement in America.
