| <p>HISTORY AND PROGRAMS<BR> | |
| The | |
| <a href="http://comnett.net/~kolson/">Lost City Museum</a> was built by the National Park Service to exhibit artifacts that | |
| were being excavated from Pueblo Grande de Nevada. These Anasazi Indian sites were being | |
| threatened by the waters of Lake Mead as it backed up behind the newly built Hoover Dam. | |
| Eventually, when the lake was filled to capacity, about five miles of sites had been inundated or | |
| undercut by the water.<BR><BR> | |
| The Civilian Conservation Corps assisted in the excavation of the sites and the | |
| construction of the museum building. The building was constructed of sun-dried adobe brick in | |
| a pueblo- revival style. The museum also served as the park headquarters for the Boulder Dam | |
| State Park that was established at Lake Mead.<BR><BR> | |
| The museum is currently owned and maintained by the State of Nevada as one of its six | |
| state museums. Program include ongoing archaeological research on the remaining Lost City | |
| sites, school tours and outreach programs, changing exhibits and archival library and collections | |
| research capabilities. Festival Americana, celebrating Native American and pioneer crafts, music | |
| and food, is held the first Saturday in November.</P> | |
