The stones of the Manitou cliff dwellings were taken from a collapsed Anasazi site near Cortez in southwest Colorado, shipped by railroad to Manitou Springs, and assembled in their present form as Anasazi-style buildings closely resembling those found in the Four Corners, and established as a Southwest cultural museum over 100 years ago. Cliff dwelling Peoples of the region had the most amazing pottery and highly developed weaving skills.
