— Carson City Parks Foundation Holds an Open House at the Wungnema House this Sunday. 2 to 5 p.m. The year is nearly over and winter is upon us; avoid an early onset of cabin fever, and stretch your legs by coming out to the Wungnema House for the last open house of 2019 on Sunday, Dec. 29 and learn about some of unique and enduring contributions a family of Native Americans made to our area. Access to the Wungnema House is off Saliman Road, opposite Carson High School. The open house is from 2 to 5 p.m. there is no admission fee, and all ages are welcome. The Wungnema House is the charming stone cottage located on the east side of Mills Park across from Carson High. It was built by a family of skilled Hopi stonemasons shortly after WWII and served as the family’s home until the early 1970s. Learn about the remarkable family of skilled Hopi stonemasons, their work, and continuing legacy. Members of this extended family were responsible not only for building this charming house, but also many distinctive homes and structures, both large and small, in and around the Carson City area; their work beyond Carson City included ranch buildings in Washoe Valley, portions of Thunderbird Lodge and at least one church at Lake Tahoe. This family directly, and indirectly through the masons that learned their craft while students at the Stewart Indian School from the family patriarch, Ernest Wungnema, wove an enduring fabric which daily surrounds those of us who live and work here. The family moved from the house in the early 1970s. In 1977, it was purchased by a developer, whose plans to turn the house into a restaurant fell through, after which the city acquired the house. The Wungnema House fell into disrepair and became subject to on-going vandalism until 1999, at which time, with a grant from the National Park Service and Quality of Life Initiative funds, Carson City was able to restore the house to serve as a museum and meeting place for small community groups and organizations.
