What we’re about
History lovers! We appreciate you! Let us convene for a talk and walk on the history of downtown Las Vegas. We share a similar passion … to relive and revive the history of this incredible city. From ‘cruising the donut’ of Fremont (and I’m not talking Pink Donut, to reminiscing on 15 year old Wayne Newton playing at Fremont). Let’s meet for a walking tour and chat about it!

Visit a former divorce Ranch - Floyd Lamb State Park at Tule Springs
Floyd Lamb Park, 9200 Tule Springs Road, Las Vegas, NV, USJoin us for a stroll through one of Nevada’s most unique historic sites—Floyd Lamb State Park at Tule Springs, once home to a famous divorce ranch.
In the 1930s to 1960s, Nevada became famous for its “divorce ranches”—rustic resorts that offered weary couples and mostly women a temporary home while they established the six-week residency needed for a quick Nevada divorce. Guests spent their days horseback riding, swimming, socializing, and enjoying authentic Western hospitality, all while waiting to “graduate” with a fresh start. High-profile visitors, privacy, and the promise of liberation made these ranches legendary refuges for a generation seeking freedom from unhappy marriages
This 680-acre desert oasis is filled with shady cottonwoods, serene lakes, wildlife, and winding bike and walking trails. Scattered throughout the park are relics of a bygone era:
- An adobe hut from 1917, built when the property was still a working ranch.
- The Foreman’s House, constructed in the 1940s, during the heyday of Nevada’s quick-divorce industry.
We'll walk, talk, and discuss the history while enjoying this hidden gem.
