'The Outpost 51 Alien Museum, located in Boulder City, is packed with wild alien recreations and fascinating events linked to extraterrestrials.
The owner, Tom Devlin, is a special effects artist and creates and builds the displays.

'One of America's first examples of public housing are the Jane Adams Homes in Chicago, built in 1938 and named for the trailblazing reformer.
