From Lake Scott State Park office (101 W. Scott Lake), 1 mile northwest on Scott Lake. In the late 1600s Taos Indians from the Southwest fled to this area to escape Spanish rule and lived in pueblos here for 20 years. Only lower portions of the stone walls remain, but they show the rooms' interiors. This northernmost pueblo in the United States had long been buried under drifting soil but was discovered by Herbert Steele in 1898. The ruins were awarded National Historic Landmark Status in 1964. A historical marker provides a detailed story of this unique Kansas site. (NRHP)
