The Crockett Family Photographs (1911-2022) consist of photographic prints, newspaper articles, and scrapbooks documenting Alamo Airport (later Harry Reid International Airport) and the Crockett family. Photographs of the interior, exterior, and airfield at Alamo Airport, including aerial views, document the early stages of what is now one of the busiest international airports in the United States. A significant portion of the collection consists of photographs of the Crockett family at their home in Las Vegas, at various events, and on family vacations. The collection contains photographs and documents from Hidden Well Ranch, a private resort located south of the airport, and the Crockett family’s Lazy Flying C Ranch on Bermuda Road. Also included in the collection are audiovisual materials depicting events and locations around Las Vegas, including Fremont Street, Hoover Dam, the Miss Rodeo America pageant, and the Sahara Cup boat races on Lake Mead.
