Fenced In or Fenced Out at Anasazi State Park Museum

Boulder - Anasazi State Park Museum staff hosts Fenced In or Fenced Out? Between Fences March 23 - May 12. This is a Museum on Main Street exhibition organized by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, funded by the U.S. Congress, and brought to visitors by the Utah Humanities Council.

This thought-provoking exhibit displays the dominant features in our lives and our history. Thousands of types have been invented, millions of miles have been produced, and countless rivals have seized post, rail, panel, and wire to stake their claims. In 1871, the Department of Agriculture estimated the total value of fences in the United States at
1.7 billion, a sum almost equal to the national debt.

In addition to this traveling exhibition, Anasazi State Park Museum features an incredible collection of Ancestral Puebloan pottery and artifacts. For more information, please call (435) 335-7308.
