Description:
HENDERSON. The past is present again at this popular museum, which traces area development from prehistoric times to the modern era. Of particular note is the focus on American Indian groups (including Anasazi, Paiute, and Mojave), who left an indelible mark on southern Nevada's history; their pottery, housewares, and jewelry are on display. The history of gaming is the theme of another exhibition, beloved by tourists enamored of poker and blackjack. Step outside for a collection of regional flora and for transplanted historic structures, restored to their original conditions on "Heritage Street."
