The second experience, Historic Era Railroad Museum is a must-see for anyone interested in learning more about our country’s history or how railroads have shaped our nation. So come on down and check it out today!
Boulder City was the federal town established to house workers on the Hoover Dam project. The U.S. Government and Six Companies both operated railroads between the Boulder City Yard and Hoover Dam. These essential railways made the construction of the dam possible and continued to play a vital role in the process well into the 1960s.
Optional Lunch, Cornish Pasty, Co.
The Cornish pasty is a delicious and historic dish that originates from Cornwall, England. This hearty pastry is filled with meat and vegetables and can be traced back to the 1200s. Mining was once a thriving industry in Cornwall, and at that time, pasties were baked by the wives and mothers of the tin miners.
The pasties were made with a thick crimped edge along one side so the miners could use the crimp as a handle to hold on to while eating. The miner’s hand would often be covered in arsenic from the mine, so the miners would discard the handle when they were done.
The crusts were never wasted though, as many miners believed that ghosts, or ‘knockers’, inhabited the mines, and the leftover crusts would keep these ghosts content. Today, you can enjoy a Cornish pasty at Cornish Pasty Co., Boulder City. We use only the freshest ingredients, and our authentic recipe will transport you back in time. So come and try a little taste of history today!
