Edge of the Cedars State Park Museum in Blanding, Utah, preserves an Ancestral Puebloan ruin and serves as a state-run museum and archaeological repository focused on the region’s Indigenous past. Its name reflects a local boundary between forested land and the open country to the south, with “cedar” meaning Utah juniper. Protected beginning in 1970, the site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971, donated to the Utah Division of State Parks and Recreation in 1974, opened as a museum in 1978, and gained an archaeological repository in 1994. Today it is southeast Utah’s primary repository for materials excavated from public lands.
