The museum located just adjacent, contains a great amount information on not just the Tuasayan tribes but habitation in Canyon in general. Studies suggest that humans have inhabited the canyon as far back 12,000 years ago.

It was built in 1928 to a design by National Park Service architect Herbert Maier and sponsored by Laura Spelman Rockefeller as a trailside museum.
