Vintage Nevada State Museum Cookbook republished thanks to FNSM, state library and print shop
Friends of the Nevada State Museum are pleased to announce the reprinting of a historic Nevada State Museum cookbook. This was possible thanks to the assistance of staffs from Nevada State Library and Archives in Carson City and the State Print Shop.
The cookbook will be available for sale at the Friends Tin Cup Roundup event set for Saturday, Sept. 21 at the Governor’s Mansion in Carson City.
The cookbook was originally compiled and published in 1981 by the Museum’s Docent Council, the Friends forerunner organization.
Many of the original recipe contributors have rich histories and long associations with the State Museum. Past Nevada first ladies, museum administrators, curators, registrars, and other local notables are part of this historic group.
Proceeds from the events will support the restoration of a 1967 Chevrolet pickup truck for the State Museum. In the 1960s to 80s, the Nevada State Museum had a 42-foot trailer which served as a mobile museum. This trailer travelled all around the state bringing museum exhibits to every county in the state. The Museum still has one of the original pickups which pulled this mobile museum.
Advance tickets for the Tin Cup Roundup are required with a ticket purchase deadline of Friday, Sept. 14. Please be sure to include your name and contact information when purchasing. Purchase tickets here or here.
The Friends organization is a not-for-profit group that works closely with the museum to present Nevada's history, cultures, historic buildings, and remarkable people to Nevadans and visitors through exhibits, educational programs, tours, publications, and research.
