In Focus

In Focus, the annual publication of the Churchill County Museum Association, celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2007. Over the years each issue has been filled with articles about the history of Churchill County and Fallon, and many people have written personal reminiscences about their lives in Lahontan Valley.

The editor’s note in the 20th anniversary issue tells how the publication came to be and is reprinted here for those viewing our website. There are also several articles from past In Focus issues archived for our online readers.
