Many tourists on their way to visit Hoover Dam will never make a stop in this wonderful depression era town. Known as the city that built the dam it remains a vibrant fun place to have lunch and spend some time wandering around.

A plaque states: “There were muckers who shoveled mud out of the tunnels, truck drivers who hauled rock up and down the river or, like the man you see here, those who swept the outhouses and kept them well supplied with paper.”
