For $2 ($1 for seniors over 50) this is well worth the drive out. There is a very nice small museum indoors, and then a number of restored houses to view, complete with time appropriate furnishings. The houses are air conditioned inside, so it is worth going even if it is 100 degrees outside.

For just $2.00 or $1.00 for seniors, you can enjoy a trip back to a simpler time in life. It was a truly joyful visit to the small museum (not a lot in itself - but combined with the outside fantastic). The buildings are well done and very interesting. The nature is just that, a view of nature at it's... More

The museum is done in timeline fashion. It was like reading a condensed history lesson with exhibits. We really enjoyed it. Additionally, there is a Heritage Street with period housing from various eras starting in the early 1900's. Lots of household items from the various times. A lot of things reminded me of my grandparents' homes.

The Heritage Neighborhood was the best section of this site for me. I love the early 1920's-1950's. Bring water, hats or sunscreen...it's the desert.

This museum is based on the natives of the area and their way of life. It is well put together with beautiful displays and exhibits. I truly enjoy this museum!

It's off the beaten path, but gives a lot of history about how the region grew into what it is today.

A very well done little museum depicting the early history of the area, leading out to a street of perfectly preserved houses from days of yore, with doors unlocked, allowing for walkthroughs. A delightful couple of hours without the noises of casinos and modern day life in Las Vegas

I enjoy taking visitors to this little gem at the end of Henderson. The main museum building has some Native American exhibits, mining exhibits, Las Vegas exhibits, and other interesting things related to Nevada. There is a Mohave desert display where you can walk through plants from the area. There is also the main street with restored homes. The homes... More

A fabulous way to spend a few hours! Friendly lady working in the museum and gift shop. Price is only $2 and $1 for senors! What a deal!! There is a whole street, recreating a Vegas neighborhood in the 30's to 40's. Houses, a printing shop, a travel trailer and cars of the era are all along this beautifully shaded... More
