Scope and Content

Thirty-oners MS 42 Thirty-Oners The Thirty-Oners is an organization established in 1956 by Boulder City pioneers to honor those who came to southern Nevada in 1931 to build Hoover Dam. The organization's annual meetings are today sponsored by the Boulder City Museum and Historical Association. As more and more of the original 31ers have died, the organization has opened its membership to descendents of the town's pioneers, as well as to those who have lived in Boulder City for thirty-one years. The material in this collection includes the club's scrapbooks, guest books, and planning material for the 1992 banquet. * * *
