The Searchlight Museum is a small community museum featuring artifacts and displays from Searchlight's early years. The town's mining history takes center stage, but the museum also features exhibits of Clara Bow, a silent film star who lived on a ranch outside of town, Senator Harry Reid, and Lt. William Nellis (from whom Nellis Air Force Base takes its name).
