A group dedicated to preserving and exploring the history of the native peoples of the region, the Amerind Foundation runs an archaeological museum filled with items and displays reflective of various aspects of this past. Pottery pieces, ceremonial objects, carved items and Native American artworks are all featured, and the museum occasionally offers live demonstrations of various traditional crafts. Attached to the archaeological museum area, an art gallery showcases works by Western artists like William Leigh and Frederic Remington. The museum is just off the Interstate about 12 miles east of Benson, near the small town of Dragoon.
