Edge of the Cedars State Park Museum is astate park andmuseum ofUtah, USA, located inBlanding.[1] It is anAncestral Puebloan archaeological site, a museum, and an archaeologicalrepository. Cowboys from the nearby town ofBluff camped there in the late 19th century and called the site Edge of the Cedars because it sits on the edge of a natural boundary, separating a heavily forested region and a treeless landscape to the south. Cedar is a term locals use for theUtah juniper tree.

Because of its archaeological significance, the site was designated a State Historical Monument in 1970 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as theEdge of Cedars Indian Ruin in 1971. In 1974, the UtahNavajo Development Council donated the 6.65-acre (2.69 ha) site to the Division of Utah State Parks and Recreation. Shortly thereafter the Utah Legislature enabled the establishment of Edge of the Cedars State Park as a museum of Indian history and culture. The museum opened in 1978. The archaeological repository was completed in 1994. Today, the facility serves as the primary repository for archaeological materials excavated from public lands in southeast Utah, and includes archives and a research library.[1]
