Hemenway House - Mesa Verde National Park - Colorado

After stopping off at the House of Many Windows, we still had more time to waste so went to see Hemenway House. Do you keep wanting to say Hemingway house too?

Anyway, can you spot the cliff dwelling?

Need me to zoom in again?


Aaand one closer zoom.

Although she never actually visited Mesa Verde, the cliff dwelling was named after Mary Tileston Hemenway (1820-1894), a Massachusetts socialite who financially supported the first archeological research in the southwest.
