Old Las Vegas Mormon Fort, Pioneer fort in Downtown Las Vegas, United States.
The adobe structure extends 150 feet on each side with two bastions and features original sections of the eastern wall and southeast tower.
Mormon missionaries under William Bringhurst constructed this fort in 1855 near Las Vegas Springs, establishing the first non-native settlement in Las Vegas Valley.
The fort exhibits New Mexico folk carpenter architectural elements and contains artifacts from Native American groups who lived in the region.
The state historic park welcomes visitors Tuesday through Saturday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, with admission fees of 3 dollars per person.
This location marks the only U.S. state park within an urban environment that maintains its original structure from the territorial period.
