If you think Nevada’s wild now, you should’ve met it in its younger years. We’re talking Wild Western rowdiness, mafioso underworlds, atomic bomb testing, and far more. Lucky for us, wherever something intriguing happened, there’s usually now a great museum to show you how.
With cultural attractions and heritage centers tucked in all corners of the Silver State, Nevada speaks to history buffs with fascinating exhibits and stories in nearly every city and town. With impassioned docents—some of whom are direct descendants of Silver State forefathers—and stories that never left the building they came from, it’s easy to get a close-up glimpse of Nevada history while you’re here.
