The video in this room provides a short historical overview of Pipe Spring. It may help visitors draw back from the details of the exhibits and see one of the overall themes of the Monument — water. Without water, a different story would be told here.

This room also provides space to create changing exhibits. A visitor might see a display case of cultural artifacts. Some of these objects are strange looking indeed! One can guess what they are and check with the ranger at the Visitor Center Desk to discover how accurate they are. In the summer, a visitor might encounter a ranger with their basket of objects, playing the same Cultural History Mystery. It you are curious, try our virtual Cultural History Mystery.

One of the walls has featured a history of the Monument in photos and words. From its early days as part of the Union Pacific's "Grand Circle" tour of parks in southern Utah and northern Arizona to the current days, the work and workers have created a jewel of a place to visit.

Don't forget the quilts! Throughout the park, including this room, are both reproduction and modern quilts. All are wonderful examples of quilting techniques and patterns. Some were made here on the Monument by rangers and volunteers and others were donations.
