The ACWS, in partnership with the Southern Nevada Living History Association, is pleased to announce our first event in Nevada.  Spring Mountain Ranch State Park is located at the base of the beautiful Red Rock cliffs in a valley just minutes west of the main part of Las Vegas.  Trees, green grass and a spring are features of this State Park.

 

Pre-registration is Essential:

 

See www.acws.net for registration forms, instructions and safety requirements.  With registration you will receive a vehicle pass that will allow you to avoid the gate fee.  Make sure you get this car pass if you are driving, as there is no avoiding or refunding the State Park gate fee without one!  You can mail the forms per instructions, fill it out and scan it in and e-mail it to events@acws.net, or even e-mail the info, but be sure to include a return address in each case for your vehicle pass.  If you are coming in “after dark” on Thursday, please verify gate times with us a week before arrival events@acws.net.
