Here’s a great event for those interested in the history of Boulder City: Angels and Outlaws, presented by the Boulder City Hoover Dam Museum. It’s a series of curated events bringing Boulder City’s colorful past to life through storytelling. The next one is scheduled for Friday, June 5 at 2:00PM at Lakeview Terrace Assisted Living facility (110 Ville Drive). Titled Angels and Outlaws: Virginia “Teddy” Fenton and Sims Ely, it will feature a chance to learn more about these important historical figures in Boulder City. It’s all part of their new First Fridays events at the facility that take place every other month (next one will be August 2026). The event is FREE and open to the public.

From the Museum’s newsletter:

Step into the vivid, larger-than-life world of early Boulder City, where grit, resilience, and a touch of rebellion helped shape a community unlike any other. On June 5, 2026 at 2:00 PM, the Boulder City/Hoover Dam Museum is proud to present “Angels and Outlaws: Teddy Fenton and Sims Ely” at Lakeview Terrace Assisted Living.

This engaging talk brings to life two unforgettable figures from Southern Nevada’s past—Teddy Fenton, a beloved community builder whose warmth, generosity, and social spirit helped transform a dusty government camp into a thriving town, and Sims Ely, a controversial and colorful “outlaw” whose exploits added intrigue and tension to life in the early days of Boulder City and the surrounding region.

Through storytelling, historical insight, and a few surprising twists, guests will explore the balance between order and chaos, compassion and defiance, that defined the era. Was Boulder City shaped more by its “angels” or its “outlaws”? You might be surprised by the answer.

This presentation is part of the museum’s ongoing commitment to bringing local history directly into the community—sharing the stories that make Boulder City and the Hoover Dam legacy so rich and enduring.

Residents of Lakeview Terrace, their guests and the public are warmly invited to attend. Come ready to be entertained, enlightened, and transported back to a time when the rules were still being written—and sometimes broken.
