For a little more local history when visiting Mesquite, stop in at the Virgin Valley Heritage Museum. Here you will find a wonderful array of interesting displays detailing the life and times of the local area. A majority of the artifacts are from 1875 to 1935. The interesting building that houses the museum was built in 1940 and was at one time a hospital.
