As we went looking for a Fan Photo that might encapsulate New Years Day, 2024 we wandered again into the Boulder City/Hoover Dam Museum archives. It’s a great way to get lost and lose an hour pondering our past and what we can learn from it. If you’d like to take a look at some of the more than 11,000 images archived by the museum, click HERE.
This photo caught our eye, description: aerial view of Boulder City looking north Camp Williston [foreground]; Boulder Dam Hotel [center left] Aerial view BC January 14, 1942. The photographer is listed as: Russell, W. L.
What is also odd is there is an additional note of Date Created, which is different from above, which happens to be January 1, 1936. Regardless of the year or the exact date, enjoy this little slice of time as we appreciate all of the beauty that still surrounds us.
Happy New Year’s Day, Boulder City. Let’s make it a fantastic 2024!
