Mormon Fort in Las Vegas, Nevada

July 31, 2025

There is an irony in the fact that the oldest intact building in Sin City was originally founded by Mormons. However, long before Las Vegas was known for gambling, it was merely a watering hole on the Old Spanish Trail between New Mexico and California. When Mormons settled in Utah in the 1840s, the trail gained newfound importance connecting them to the nearest seaport. As such, in 1855 they built an adobe (mudbrick) fort at Las Vegas Springs to...

July 30, 2025

William Henry Harrison, despite serving just 30 days in the White House, left a particularly large impact on American history.
