About the Exhibition

Take a step back in time to before the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead even existed. It’s the mid-1920s, and the archaeological site of Pueblo Grande de Nevada is now being excavated by Dr. Mark Harrington. By the 1930s, a museum needed to be built to house these artifacts. Lost City Museum: A Hidden Gem on Southern Nevada’s Arrowhead Trail showcases historic photographs of the building of the Lost City Museum and some of the men from the Company 573 Ohio of the Civilian Conservation Corps.
