The Alden B. Dow Home & Studio and the Alden B. Dow Archives consist of the residence and working area of Alden B. Dow (1904-1983), famed architect.

The archives contain project files, correspondence, 22,000 project drawings, films, lectures, oral histories, sketches, architectural texts, and inspirational objects.

The site offers guided tours, educational tours, custom educational guided tours, fourth grade and high school educational programs, and public access archives.

Fort Ligonier is an on-site reconstruction of an early U.S. fort, which stood between 1758 and 1766. The fort withstood the years of the French and Indian War (1754-1763) and Pontiac's War (instigated 1763). In addition to the fort itself and numerous outlying structures, the site displays reconstructions of mid-1700s "Conestoga" wagons. No Conestoga wagons survive to this day. The replica wagons are based on historical accounts and archaeological evidence. A museum serves as the entry point to the fort. Collection highlights include pistols given to George Washington by the Marquis de Lafayette, 13 original French and Indian War era paintings, and a period room with 18th and early 19th-century furnishings.

The fort offers exhibits, an 8-minute introductory video, a gallery, a period room, living history activities, reenactments, guided tours, and a picnic area. Reservations are required for tours.

Coronado State Monument where Francisco Vásquez de Coronado—with 300 soldiers and 800 Indian allies from New Spain—entered the valley while looking for the fabled Seven Cities of Gold. Instead he found villages inhabited by prosperous native people. Coronado's party camped near the Tiwa pueblo of Kuaua, one of the many villages encountered by the explorers. Kuaua, a Tiwa word for "evergreen," was first settled around AD 1300 by American Indians who had long known about the fertile land near the Rio Grand. Kuaua is an earthen pueblo excavated in the 1930s by WPA workers, who also reconstructed new ruin walls over the reburied original ruins. A square kiva, excavated in the south plaza of the community, contained many layers of mural paintings. These murals represent some of the finest examples of Pre-Columbian mural art in the United States. Both the kiva and one of the mural layers are reconstructed and open to visitors, while several of the preserved mural segments are open to viewing in the mural room of the visitor center. The visitor center, designed by noted architect John Gaw Meem, also contains prehistoric and historic Indian and Spanish colonial artifacts on exhibit with several hands-on components.

A second website, maintained by the Friends of Coronado, can be found here.

The site offers a short film, exhibits, lectures, workshops, and occasional recreational and educational events.
