Is a large Anasazi ruin constructed during the late 11th century. In addition to the ruins, there is the Salmon homestead, heritage park, and museum. The heritage park exhibits numerous prehistoric and historic reconstructed dwellings. The museum provides an overview of Anasazi history and displays some of the materials recovered from excavations by Eastern New Mexico University between 1972 and 1978.  Salmon Ruin is located just west of Bloomfield, approx. 10 miles south of Aztec.
