Reception ...

Thursday, August 11 ( 6 pm to 8 pm )

The reception for the 2005 Pecos Conference will be held at the Bandelier National Monument headquarters building. This complex of stone buildings was constructed in the 1930’s by the Civilian Conservation Corp. Today, these remarkable buildings compose the largest, most intact and best preserved CCC constructions and are also listed as a National Historic Landmark district ( take a virtual tour ).

Registered Pecos conference attendees will be allowed free admission to Bandelier for this day only. Please take advantage of this offer. The National Park Service will also provide non-alcoholic beverages during the reception.

Your registration packets, t-shirts, coffee mugs and dinner tickets will be available at the registration desk. For those of you who have not pre-registered, you will be able to register at this time.

Once we have collected as much money as we can, we encourage you to visit the attractions of Bandelier National Monument. Within the immediate area are interpretive trails to ancestral Pueblo cliff villages, large surface pueblos and rock art sites. We will also offer guided walks through the CCC district. In addition, there is a visitor center, a museum, which currently has exhibits on ancestral Pueblo life and artifacts, and a gift shop too.
