The Lost City Museum is welcoming visitors during May, Archaeology Awareness Month in Nevada, to learn about the archaeology of Nevada in a hands-on way. For those who have ever wanted to how stone tools are made the museum will host demonstrations.

Visitors can join Archaeologist Joe Moore for his presentation Fun with Flintknapping at the Museum on Saturday, May 7 from 10:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. Museum visitors can learn all about flintknapping and can even try to make their own stone tool.
