The Nevada Highway Patrol is proud to announce that Trooper Ron Larson is the senior trooper in the Silver State, with 24 years of service.

In those years Trooper Larson has committed himself to being an outstanding Sergeant, Trooper, Field Training Officer (FTO), mentor and friend. Larson started his career in a then 16-week training academy to learn the duties of a Trooper in the Highway Patrol and flourished from there. He was fortunate to have worked in only two duty stations throughout his career, Reno and Carson City, both within Northern Command West.

One of Nevada’s most significant historic treasures is now the nation’s newest historic landmark with action today from the United States Department of the Interior. Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar listed the McKeen Motor Car at the Nevada State Railroad Museum in Carson City as a National Historic Landmark.

Carson City’s rich and intriguing history is explored and theatrically relived in the 20th annual Ghost Walk – Legends of the Past. The Carson City Ghost Walk is a delightfully spooky and enjoyable way to experience Carson City’s Victorian Era and diverse past. Meet lingering spirits of the past, including McAvoy Layne as Mark Twain, with many haunted and paranormal stories to take in. Some of our spirits even lead the guided walking tours of the downtown district’s historic homes. Tours will visit inside at least five different houses and locals.
