You probably know Fallon is the county seat, and you might know Buckland Station and Stillwater have previously held that honor. However, few people have been to La Plata in eastern Churchill County, which was the county seat from 1864 to 1868. Today, only stone ruins remain. You can learn more about LaPlata and our other county seats by visiting the museum!
