The Three Kids Mine is a defunct open-pit manganese mine in Henderson, Nevada, United States which operated from 1917 to 1961, primarily supplying the United States military with manganese during the first and second World Wars. The now-abandoned mine—located near Nevada State Route 564 just south of the Lake Las Vegas neighborhood—popularly stands used as a location for graffiti art. On July 9, 2014, the Three Kids Mine Remediation and Reclamation Act was passed, which would lead to the cleanup of the former mine site and capping of the pit, starting in 2024. Construction of a residential development consisting 3,000 homes as well as a park is slated to begin at the site in 2025.
