lost city museum印象

Great history of the Moapa Valley area and the Ancestral Puebloans and the Mormon settlers here. Original building with floors from the rocks at Valley of Fire State Park. Recreations of the lost city also.

We took a small side trip through the Lake Mead Nevada State Park & visited this place which was recommended to by our friends. This museum has a vast collection of Native American artifacts & shows how they lived thousands of years ago until the area was settled by pioneers. A vast archeological site was discovered in this area. The State of Nevada has wisely preserved this site & constructed some model dwellings similar to those that the early inhabitants . It is a real bonus that this area was protected because a lot of the surrounding area was once flooded when the Hoover Dam was constructed. The water levels in the lake Mead Reservoir are greatly reduced in recent years, thus exposing some of the early historic artifacts. We would recommend this site to anyone who is interested in the early inhabitants of this area. Another "must see" as far as we are concerned.

If you like pieces of pottery and sticks, then this is the place for you. I thought that it would be an exhibit of the town that was displaced by the Hoover Dam. There was an Indian settlement there many many years ago, like 100's of years before.There is nothing in the town and thankfully it was only $5 per person admission. We drove from Vegas to this museum which is about 1.5 hours away. Disappointed.

Nice museum built around an archaeological site with lots of artifacts from the area. They have an archaeologist on site for any questions. In addition, they have reconstructed the pueblo adobe homes for the museum.

This was a very nice stop after The Valley of Fire, a cool welcome brake. The Museum is not large but well worth the time.The staff was very helpful with our questions.

Small museum with concise exhibits in a fascinating area. Don't miss it if visiting Lake Mead or Valley of Fire State Park!

We just couldnt get into this place, and we went a ways out of our way to get there. All the guide books for the area and "must see" states this is one of those places. I'm here to tell you dont waste your time, which is more important than the $5.00 bucks. Since they only charge $5.00 that should of been a sign as nothing is cheap in the area.

Artifacts tell stories of the people who traveled through and lived in Southern Nevada for thousands of years with a primary focus on the Anasazi. Very quiet museum off the beaten path. Curators had time to answer any and all questions. Excellent gift shop with no sales tax!

We were married in Valley of Fire several years ago, and we'd driven past the museum many times over the years without really paying much attention. One year, after a long day exploring yet another corner of the VoF area, we pulled in on a whim... oops, they closed at 4:30, but it looks interesting...So this year we planned it backwards: Overton WMA in the morning followed by a visit to the museum, then lunch at Inside Scoop before hitting VoF.The Lost City Museum tells the story of the original Pueblo inhabitants of the valley. The inside has numerous fascinating artifacts (the baskets they made are amazing) and a timeline going back thousands of years. Much of the content was saved from the ruins just before the valley was inundated by Lake Meade. Outside the building there are life-size reconstructions of the ancestral Pueblo homes and a very nice little shaded picnic area.The gift shop is excellent, with a little something for everybody, from shiny things to baseball caps to Native crafts. The staff is friendly and helpful. There is an entrance fee, but it's only $5 and well worth it.

very enjoyable. see the movie in the screening room which will give you the base for a very enjoyable time at this museum. it gives the exhibits life an then when you walk outside the Moapa Valley changes in what you see.
