The Colorado River Historical Society, a nonprofit organization, runs the museum in what was once a Catholic church in Laughlin. There, visitors will find exhibits and displays designed to bring the area’s past to life. An intriguing collection of photographs and maps, interesting dioramas and memorabilia take visitors through the early steamboats that once traveled the mighty Colorado River, the eras of gold and silver mining, the area’s ranching industry, historic roads leading to and from the river and the unique culture and history of the area’s earliest American Indian inhabitants. Replicas of the area’s significant landmarks are also on display.
