Abo Ruins is the site of a Native American Indian Pueblo that was largely abandoned in 1673. By 1678 the pueblo was entirely abandoned. It was later discovered and turned into a National Monument. It is part of the Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument. Any graves that are found with headstones are those of the people who worked to take care of the Ruins.

Because there had been Catholic churches built in these pueblos in the 1600's, there might still be records of the people who once lived in these pueblos. At this time they have not yet been located.

If you go to Mountainair, NM, you can follow the signs to Abo Ruins. It is a 13 minute drive. Head west on U.S. 60 W/Broadway toward Ripley Ave. turn right on Co Rd Boo5/NM-513 N (10.4 miles.)
