Calling All History Buffs! The Friends of the Nevada State Museum invites the community to celebrate Nevada's rich history and support a worthy cause at the Tin Cup Roundup Barbecue.

The Friends of the Nevada State Museum are hosting a white elephant sale at the Nevada State Museum on Saturday, June 29. This event will run concurrently with a Museum Staff Show & Shine Car Show. Proceeds from the events will support the restoration of a 1967 Chevrolet pickup truck for the State Museum.

An 1884 Carson City Morgan silver dollar donated by Northern Nevada Coin is being raffled by the Friends of the Nevada State Museum. The raffle will highlight the Tin Cup Roundup fundraiser planned for Saturday, September 21 (5 to 8 pm). Proceeds from the raffle and the event will support the restoration of a 1967 Chevrolet pickup truck for the State Museum.

As the Nevada State Museum prepares to celebrate another year sharing Nevada’s unique history, the Friends of the Museum are again offering an opportunity for new and experienced volunteers and tour guides to learn more about our region, history, and the State Museum.

During the Friends of the Nevada State Museum recent Silver State Speakeasy fundraising event, the raffle of an uncirculated 1884 Morgan silver dollar resulted in the coin traveling across the United States.

An uncirculated 1884 Carson City Morgan silver dollar will highlight a raffle during the Friends of the Nevada State Museum fundraiser on Thursday, Sept. 22. The coin, donated by Northern Nevada Coin, will be raffled off during the Silver State Speakeasy event in the Nevada Room of the Governor’s Mansion.

The Friends of the Nevada State Museum will open a one night only speakeasy as their annual fundraiser on Thursday, September 22. The speakeasy opens at 4 pm in the Nevada Room at the Governor's Mansion.

The theme is the 1920's and will feature suffragists, flappers, and gangsters.

The Friends of the Nevada State Museum thanks everyone who attended, donated to, and participated in the sold out and overwhelmingly successful performance of their original production of A Night with Notorious Nevadans.

Each year, CVS employees volunteer thousands of hours to nonprofit organizations in their communities.

Due to the positive response from local residents and visitors to the Carson City area, local history buff Debbie Lane will be leading another tour highlighting the homes of former Nevada governors on Tuesday, Oct. 10. The 9 a.m. tours are offered as part of the activities sponsored by the Friends of the Nevada State Museum.

Sharing Nevada’s unique and exciting history with visitors from across Nevada and from around the world has been part of the commitment that the Friends of the Nevada State Museum made decades ago.

This event has been canceled.
