 * Henderson** is located in the foothills south and adjacent to Las Vegas . Incorporated in 1953, Henderson is the second largest city in Nevada, known for its master-planned communities. Highlights include the parks, cycling and hiking trails. Henderson is certified [|Playful City USA].

Downtown Henderson hosts a Last Friday of the Month celebration. Check out [|#JAWSNV]

We are fans of Chef Flemmings' Bakery, the Thursday Farmers Market and events at the convention center and the Henderson Events Plaza. Ample free parking!

Among our favorite parks in the world: Cornerstone, a repurposed quarry, now a multi-purpose marsh. Look for egrets on the red poles. There are also ducks galore and often seagulls, an odd sight in the Mojave Desert. On our list of places to visit in 2018: Sloan Canyon.
 * Natural World**

A terrific example of a local library system, complete with old-fashioned books, local authors and national bestsellers. In addition there are numerous events, computer access, meeting rooms - check out the [|Henderson Libraries] and the [|Friends of the Henderson Libraries].
