Besh-Ba-Gowah

One mile southwest of the City of Globe stand the remains of a large pueblo village constructed by the Salado culture who occupied the region between 1225-1400 A.D. Today, the partially restored pueblo is known as Besh Ba Gowah. Visitors can take a self-guided tour of the outdoor pueblo exhibits, learning about ancient Salado life, view artifacts such as pottery and stone tools in the adjacent museum and stroll through the park showcasing native plants used by ancient peoples of the Southwest. The park has picnic areas and the museum gift shop offers a wonderful assortment of specialty and Native American crafted items.
