Las Vegas Historical Society facts for kids
The Las Vegas Historical Society was started in 2013. Its main goal is to find, save, and show old photographs of Las Vegas and the wider Las Vegas Valley area in Nevada. Many of these pictures have never been seen by the public before!
Discovering Las Vegas History
The Las Vegas Historical Society helps everyone learn about the past of this famous city. They do this by collecting special photos that tell stories about how Las Vegas grew and changed over the years.
Explore Photos Online
The Society has a great website where you can look at many old photos. It's like a huge online photo album! The pictures are organized by the decade they were taken, so you can easily see how things looked in the 1950s, 1960s, and so on. People who live in Las Vegas, or even visitors, can also share their own old family photos on the website to help build this amazing collection.
Visit the Museum
You can also visit the Las Vegas Historical Society's museum in the Las Vegas Arts District. This area is part of Downtown Las Vegas. The museum is open every day. Inside, you'll find a special display of photos arranged in order from oldest to newest. This creates a cool timeline that shows the history of Las Vegas and the Las Vegas Valley in Clark County. It's a fun way to see how the city has changed through time!
