Located on Boulder Highway in Henderson (about 35 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip), the museum is pretty much in the middle of nowhere. But that's what makes this experience so authentic -- and fun! The museum consists of two parts: A vast outdoor area with historic homes, a "ghost town" and old trains and an indoor exhibit showcasing a physical timeline of Nevada from ancient times to present. And for only $2 a person, you're definitely getting your money's worth.
  Explore five fully-furnished houses ranging from the early 1900s to the 1950s. Built in 1912, the Beckley house is a California bungalow-style house that was once located on Fourth Street in downtown Las Vegas. At the time, it cost only $2,500. The Beckley house was the last pioneer home in the area and moved to the museum in 1979.
