Carson City Historical Society announces Nevada Day exhibit, all four Sundays in October
The public is invited to see the Carson City Historical Society's exhibit on the history of Nevada Day. The exhibit is in the Carriage House behind the Foreman-Roberts House Museum, located at 1207 North Carson Street, every Sunday in October (Oct. 6, 13, 20, and 27) from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. for viewing a Historic Nevada Day exhibit.
This historic Nevada Day exhibit presents lots of articles and historic photographs dating back to the beginning of the Nevada Day Parade in 1938. It includes introductory material written by Aeryn McQueary, a member of the CCHS Board of Directors. The Nevada Day Parade now takes place in Carson City on the first Saturday after the last Friday each October, and it celebrates Nevada's admission to the union on Oct. 31, 1864. This year the parade will be on Saturday, Oct. 26.
