The Old Las Vegas Mormon Fort State Historic Park is the first non-native permanent settlement established within the Las Vegas Valley, featuring the historic ruins of the 1855 adobe fort constructed by Mormon missionaries, built along a spring-fed creek. This creek was the only free-flowing water in the area, providing irrigation for orchards and fields and helping the small outpost serve as a way station for many weary travelers. The Old Las Vegas Mormon Fort State Historic Park today is home to numerous historic artifacts, as well as a visitor center with photos and exhibits illustrating the site’s history.
