*The actual site was closed but I did find the museum.*
The Blackwater Draw Museum (BWDM) was first opened to the public in 1969 where it was located off Hwy 70. In 2017, the museum moved to the Eastern New Mexico University campus where it currently resides in the old university dining hall.
The museum displays and artifacts are used to describe and interpret life at the archaeology site from Clovis times (over 13,000 years ago) all the way through the recent historic period. (1)
