Old Las Vegas Mormon Fort State Historic Park commemorates the site of the first European structure in the area that would eventually become the city of Las Vegas. The original building still resides on the corner of Washington Avenue and Las Vegas Boulevard and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
This site is representative of an early Mormon westward expansion in the 1850s and went on to serve an important role in the American Civil War, when it was called Fort Baker. In 1989, the city of Las Vegas acquired the fort, and today it's a historic attraction.

Highlights of Old Las Vegas Mormon Fort State Historic Park
Old Las Vegas Mormon Fort State Historic Park is located right in the heart of city centre Las Vegas. Its easy access makes it a popular historic visitor attraction that hearkens back to the very origins of the city.
The major attraction in the park is the fort itself, which is the first building ever constructed in what's now city centre Vegas, and it still stands on the original site. Inside the fort, you can visit a museum full of historic artefacts, plus a visitor centre with photos, exhibits, and documents tracing its history.
