The Museum was built by the CCC in 1935 to hold artifacts excavated before they were covered by Lake Mead.  It 1952 it became one of the seven Nevada state museums.  I came to Overton to become LCM’s director at the beginning of July and fell instantly in love with this very interesting and well-done small museum with a small but professional staff that works very well as a team.  The museums website, that we are in the process of enhancing, is athttp://museums.nevadaculture.org.

When I was deciding to leave the snow and ice of Alaska for warm, sunny southern Nevada, I found several references to the museum on Internet searches, including a couple of UTube tours.  Overton is surrounded by beautiful red-rock country and the canyons of southern Utah and northern Arizona.  Feel free to contact me with questions about the museum but apply through Nevada’s HR department.
