A series that examines the history of our city and the people, places, and things that make Vegas our home.
The Old Las Vegas Mormon Fort State Historic Park stands on what was to become the Old Las Vegas Ranch and contains the oldest non-native building in the state of Nevada - an adobe structure, a remnant of the 1855 fort. Join us as Lisa Leavitt Messenger (author, researcher, and Vice President of Friends of the Fort) presents an in-depth discussion on how it went from a fort to store to ranch to its current incarnation as a state park.

Originally opening in 1966 as a three-room library within the Airport Annex building, the Clark County Library moved in 1967 to a storefront. In 1971, the library moved again to its current location using deeded land from the County and with money awarded by the Max C. Fleishman Foundation. The building went on to have two remodels: one completed in 1986, and the second completed in 1994, which resulted in the three-story, 120,000-square-foot building it is today. This redesign notably included a 399-seat theater and an 80-seat black box theater/dance studio. The Library District also added the Best Buy Teen Tech Center, which provides a place for teens to explore and master new technologies and digital skills.
