Nevada Historical Society

Cool museum with a lot of interesting things!The museum is in a large room as a curving path guides you around in chronological order of the Nevada and Reno area history. Something to see if you have an hour in the Reno Area!

Sign on door and online says they are open to public Wednesday thru Saturday 11 to 4. But guess what? THEY ARE NOT OPEN ON THESE DAYS OR HOURS except on Wednesdays nowadays, apparently. Sorry about that, they might have posted on the door to whomever may have ventured to learn a little Nevada history on a recent Saturday. What's the point of having a museum that says it's open to the public but isn't? Must be some tasty tidbits inside, I find myself thinking, as I compose this text outside the locked doors. Guess I'll head back to Circus Circus and squander a few more dollars on slot machines.

There can learn the history and development of Nevada and Reno, and the children learn the knowledge. The librarian's warm and thoughtful service gave me stickers and commemorative pencils for my kids, thank you!

This is a good research library and museum of Nevada history. Permanent exhibit spans Native American items thru mining and gambling exhibits. Rotating exhibits are interesting and they have many good talks.

We took my dad here after we went to another museum that's pretty close. We had a great time walking through the exhibits and learning more about Nevada history.

The local history displays are well done and informative. The volunteers are amazing. We will definitely be back!

I'm an artist. I participate every year in early December one of the most entertaining and educational Art Shows called "History for the Holidays". This year the date is Saturday December 13, 2014. I so look forward to this exciting event all year long! I market Nevada stone pendants which I cut, shape, polish and wrap! Each one is unique. These are wrapped in Gold Fill, Copper, and Sterling wire that really shows off these gorgeous stones. I exhibit in many shows including the Reno Gem and Mineral Society shows. In addition, I teach Watercolor in Reno and have taught WC in Ireland. At this December show there is acapela singers that sing Christmas Carols. There is a delicious array of sweets and hot chocolate etc. It is always crowded and lasts from 11 to 4 PM. People look for my pendants each year. All the artists are professionals. See you there.
