Besh-Ba-Gowah Archaeological Park

One mile southwest of the City of Globe, Arizona, stand the remains of a large pueblo village constructed by the Salado culture who occupied the region between 1225 CE and 1450 CE.

The pueblo is known today as Besh Ba Gowah, a term originally given by the Apache people to the early mining settlement of Globe. Roughly translated, the term means “place of metal.” 

The partially reconstructed pueblo structures, along with the adjacent museum provide a fascinating glimpse at the lifestyle of the people who thrived in the ancient Southwest.
