The Searchlight Heritage Museum, a satellite of the Clark County Heritage Museum, reports the history of the mining boom town of Searchlight, which once surpassed Las Vegas in population. The story of Searchlight mining and railroad heritage and its many colorful pioneer citizens is told through photos, artifacts, exhibits, and an outdoor mining park.
The Museum is housed in the Community Center in Searchlight, 60 miles south of Las Vegas on Highway 65. Admission is free.
