In 1900, the Colorado Cliff Dwellings Association was formed under the leadership of Virginia McClurg and Lucy Peabody. The
organization's sole purpose was to preserve the cliff dwellings of the Mesa Verde area. They promoted their campaign to make
Mesa Verde a national park through letter writing, fund raising, and even tours of Mesa Verde for the press.
