About the author
Mesa Verde Museum Association, now known as the Mesa Verde Association, is a private nonprofit partner of Mesa Verde National Park. According to its official history and the National Park Service, it was authorized by Congress and established in the park in 1930, making it one of the country’s oldest cooperating associations.
The organization supports interpretive programs, research activities, special events, and visitor services connected to Mesa Verde. It also publishes educational material and operates park stores, with proceeds helping fund programs that deepen public understanding of the cultural and natural heritage of the Mesa Verde region.
For readers, that means its books are typically created with a strong educational mission: to make the archaeology, landscapes, and Indigenous history of Mesa Verde more accessible, accurate, and engaging. Rather than a single writer’s voice, the association represents a long-running institutional effort to connect visitors and readers with one of the most important heritage sites in the United States.
