There are a couple interesting old buildings of frontier/settlement vintage, and some nice shady trees, which are good if you visit when it's hot, ie, between April and October. Compared to other attractions in the area such as Aztec Ruins, it's not particularly exciting - but would be a good place to go to on the same day. The gift... More

I wouldn't normally give such a modest place an Excellent rating but it deserves it. After a couple of tiring days, we didn't want to do much more driving or walking & this was fairly close to Farmington where we were staying.

I just returned from New Mexico having travelled with friends for a week long vacation that included Balloon Fiesta and a tour to Chaco Canyon. Being four older ladies, we were not too keen on driving our rental car (and breaking our ins agreement) into Chaco Canyon on our own, and had looked for tours to take. The only one... More

This is a locally owned and run site. Very interesting and the staff person was knowledgeable and fun to talk to. Take a little time and visit this site....educational.

inside museum was wonderful. Most of the things there were re-built. the real ruin was a long walk and small.

Very intersting place. Out back of the museum are the ruins, a fair walk but informative.

We visited Salmon Ruins after a visit to Aztec Ruins National Monument and thought that the latter was much better. The ruins themselves were interesting, and this attraction could be seen in a very short amount of time; however, these ruins are right next to a trailer park, there is an extremely steep walk up and down to see them,...
