There’s a lot of our collection that visitors don’t see, as there simply isn’t enough space in the museum, and keeping them off display helps preserve them for future generations. Our newest exhibit, “Preserving our History,” talks about how we store these collections and showcases some of our newest acquisitions!
Our newest temporary exhibit, “Outlaws and Lawmen” is open now! Come visit to learn about the villains who terrorized Northern Nevada and those who kept them in check in the late 1800s and early 1900s!
Our newest Long-Term Exhibit, Settling the County is finally open! You can visit the exhibit during normal business hours, but we also have a special members-only reception coming soon, so if you are a member keep an eye on your mailbox and inbox for your invite!
Over the last few months, our staff has been working in tandem with staff at the Rafter 3C Arena to make several exhibit highlighting ranching history. This exhibit is now complete, and a public dedication will be held on Friday, February 16 at 2:30. Read the full press release here
We have some exciting exhibit updates in the works, including our new long-term exhibit, “Settling the County,” which is now in production! Exhibit curator Rae explains how we make our panels in-house!
