Floyd Lamb State Park, 8 miles north of Centennial Hills. In 1933, the Tule Springs Expedition, was the first major effort to explore the archaeological importance of the area surrounding Tule Springs. The Nevada State Museum explored the springs area in 1962 and 1963 confirming that the area was home to Ice Age species as well as early North American Paleo-Indian peoples. Animals discovered ground sloths, mammoths, prehistoric horses and American camels and the first giant condors in Nevada. The springs site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 20, 1979. (From Wikipedia) http://ping.fm/Etqhb
