Located 12 miles south of Carson City in Genoa, Mormon Station was Nevada's first permanent non-native settlement. While the original trading post was built in 1851, a replica now houses a small museum filled with artifacts and exhibits of the early pioneer days. While the museum charges a minimal fee ($1 per person for age 12 and up), the stockade area is free to the public for self-guided tours. Under the large shade trees you'll find grills and picnic tables. There is a group use pavillion too, but reservations are required for its' use and the parking is limited. Nearby is the Dangberg Home Ranch Historic Park. The historic park is open daily from early May to mid-October, 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. |
