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.

Nice metal work detail on the register
The glass work is very pretty
Notice the iron in front of the Singer machine
The bed seems awfully short now

Train depot ticket booth. The train was not at the station when we were there, darn I wanted to take a picture of it!

People used to dress up so nice

I use a combination of my iPhone and my Fujifilm X-E2 camera for all my photographs. Just depends on where I am as to which one I'll use to take my pictures with. I love to write original stories combined with my photographs.

A couple since 2003 and now on the precipice of this new journey, our fondest hope is this website serves a purpose. One of useful information presented in an elegant, beautiful photographic setting.
Together we love to discover new restaurants, food trucks, diners, café’s, huts or where ever we find food being served. The love of artful, carefully crafted, passionately orchestrated food, beverages and let’s not forget desert, Is something we both enjoy immensely. Immersing ourselves in the history, culture and surrounding locations of our adventures hopefully leads to not only meeting new people, but making new friends, sharing ideas, listening to stories and learning something new everyday.
