A longtime Boulder City landmark got a fresh front door this weekend as the city celebrated a new visitor center tied to the museum’s 35th anniversary.
Boulder City marked a milestone Saturday with the grand opening of a new visitor center for the town’s railroad museum, a project unveiled as the museum celebrates its 35th anniversary, according to FOX5 Vegas.
Hundreds of community members, local leaders and train enthusiasts gathered for the opening, giving the event the feel of a civic celebration as much as a ribbon-cutting. The new center adds another reason for day-trippers and history-minded newcomers to stop in Boulder City.
For residents across the Las Vegas Valley, the project is a reminder that the region’s identity stretches beyond the Strip. Boulder City has long leaned on its heritage and small-town character, and the museum’s anniversary gives that story a fresh showcase.
FOX5 Vegas reported the opening was held Saturday morning, with the new visitor center now serving as the museum’s latest attraction.
