[1] The Lost City Museum shares its location with an actual prehistoric site of the Ancestral Puebloans.

The museum was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1935 and was operated by the National Park Service to exhibit artifacts from the Pueblo Grande de Nevada archaeological sites, which were going to be partially covered by the waters of Lake Mead as a result of building the Hoover Dam.

[2] In 1981, an extension of the museum was built, incorporating some ruins in order to protect them and share them with the public.

Pottery, shells, jewelry and many other examples that showcase the history of the early inhabitants are on display at the museum.
