    I first heard of Tonopah as the place where Howard Hughes wed Jean Peters on 21 January 1957. The remained married for many years, divorcing in 1971. They almost never saw each other, staying in touch with telephone. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Hughes#Later_years http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Peters

    Many of the residences in the old section of town survive from the mining boom times and are built of squared off rocks and rubble. Still in use.
