Howard Hughes’ Legendary Home to Be Transferred to Henderson Museum for Preservation
The renowned residence of Howard Hughes, the trailblazing aviator and industrialist, is poised for a remarkable transition. This architecturally distinctive home, intimately linked to one of America’s most mysterious and influential figures, will be relocated to the Nevada State Museum in Henderson. This initiative is designed to conserve the property amid growing urban expansion and to provide the public with an immersive experience into Hughes’ innovative legacy and luxurious lifestyle.
