Bluff Fort Historic Site

A rebuilt pioneer fort in Bluff, run by the Hole in the Rock Foundation, telling the story of the 1880 settlers. The grounds hold fourteen family cabins, including the Barton cabin, the only original San Juan pioneer cabin left, plus a full-size replica of Bluff's first meetinghouse and a co-op replica with a theater showing films on the pioneers. Kids can climb into a covered wagon and pan for gold, and there is a Navajo hogan and a Ute tepee.
