As part of the sesquicentennial celebration of the establishment of the Old Mormon Fort in Las Vegas, MHSF published a book titled, A Gamble in the Desert: The Mormon Mission in Las Vegas (1855-1857) which is now available for purchase from Millennial Press.

During this same month there was a commemoration held at the Old Las Vegas Mormon State Historic Park on the evening of June 11th. Jonathan W. Bullen, member of the MHSF board of trustees, spoke at the event. The Foundation commissioned and donated a painting of the Fort by Ken Corbett.

A special DVD presentation (which MHSF assisted with) was created to highlight this interesting period of Nevada history.
