Quarry Visitor Center, in Dinosaur National Monument in Utah was built as part of the National Park Service's Mission 66 program of modern architectural design in the US national parks. This visitor center exemplifies the philosophy of locating visitor facilities immediately at the resource being interpreted. The visitor center is presently closed due to structural damage from unstable soils, and its future is in doubt.

It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 2001.citation|title=PDFlink| [http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NHLS/Text/86003401.pdf National Historic Landmark Nomination: Quarry Visitor Center] |32 KB|date=September 1, 2000 |author=Sarah Allaback, Ethan Carr, and John H.
