Clark County Heritage Museum

Clark County Heritage Museum is a cultural institution with both indoor exhibits and outdoor restored historic buildings from Nevada. The grounds feature homes from different eras and house a large collection of objects documenting the region's development.

The museum's collection spans from prehistoric times to the modern era, showing the long-term development of the region. The restored homes date from around 1910 to 1970 and record different phases of settlement and growth.

Heritage Street displays restored homes showing how daily life in Southern Nevada changed from the early 1900s through the 1970s. Visitors see authentic furnishings, objects, and room arrangements from different decades that reflect how people actually lived.

Plan to spend time exploring both the indoor exhibits and the outdoor buildings to get the full experience. The grounds are flat and easy to navigate, but bring water and dress for outdoor conditions since much of the site is exposed.

The grounds feature an authentic 1918 Union Pacific steam locomotive and rail cars housed in a 1932 Boulder City depot building. This rail collection offers a rare look at transportation machinery that shaped the region's history.
