“celebrating the history of Nevada, the Great Basin, & the West”
The Society museum contains two permanent galleries: Nevada and Reno History. In the hallway and conference room gallery spaces, these are the changing galleries that rotate new exhibits. The Society research library contains a unique and rich collection of manuscripts, photographs, maps, rare books and print materials on Nevada, the Great Basin and the West. As the onset of a new season brings changes, changes are coming to Nevada’s museums! In October our museums will begin a renewed celebration of Nevada’s heritage as we commence the 150th anniversary of Nevada statehood. This year-long party will have each of our museums opening special exhibits, showcasing new content and artifacts that represent what it took to settle and prosper in Nevada’s harsh environment. Join us in the celebration by checking out your Nevada museums!

This museum is a great place to spend a day. You can learn so much about Nevada's past and the rich mines that made Nevada, like Virginia City and Goldfield. Read more
