Clark County Heritage Museum, Cultural heritage museum in Henderson, United States
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 black steam locomotive numbered 4442 stands outdoors on the museum rails, not inside the relocated 1932 Boulder City depot, which is a separate building on the grounds. Visitors can read the number on the front plate and on the cab side, and see the three domes on top of the boiler.
