Lost City Museum Anasazi Indians

The Lost City Museum was built by the National Park Service to exhibit artifacts from the Anasazi Indians that were being excavated from Pueblo Grande de Nevada. The Lost Museum houses an outstanding collection of pottery, artifacts, and also has a gift shop.

The Anasazi Indians were 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. The Civilian Conservation Corps assisted in the excavation of the sites and the construction of the museum building today.

Programs include ongoing archaeological research on the remaining Lost City sites, school tours and outreach programs, changing exhibits and archival library and collections research capabilities. Special public programs are held throughout the year.
