Boomtown 1905 @ Springs Preserve / 333 South Valley View Boulevard Las Vegas, Nevada 89107

Springs preserve really holds many destinations within itself. On my second visit last October 2019 I had to see the recreated town that depicts Las Vegas from 1905 to 1920.

 

Start of the trail to Boomtown 1905.

It holds many buildings including the following; railroad cottages, train depot, Arizona Club, Las Vegas Mercantile, Lincoln Hotel & Majestic Theatre and First State Bank.

Each building tells their unique history displaying period items and interactive activities. I felt like I had gone back in time especially walking through the railroad cottages. Each cottage had an impressive garden being tended to at the time.

As of this writing, they are currently open with limited visitor capacity and all tickets must be purchased online. For more information visit their website.
