The Position

The Lost City Museum, located in Overton which is in rural Clark County, and is one of seven museums in the Division of Museums & History, and a part of the Department of Tourism and Cultural Affairs. The construction of the Hoover Dam during the 1930's had a profound impact on the rich pre-history and archeology of the area and led to the establishment of the Lost City Museum in 1935. In 1953 the National Park Service turned over the museum to the State of Nevada at which time the State assumed the operation of the museum and the protection of its collections. In addition to three exhibit galleries, the museum features a small theater, research library, museum store, and outdoor exhibits.
