Nevada Historical Society

Our gallery is broken into two sections focusing upon the State’s History. The first is called Nevada: Prisms & Perspectives, broken into five crucial stories about life in the Silver State, but all five are intimately related to each other. The second section is called Biggest Little City in the World, that focuses upon Reno’s fasinating history.

Access
The Nevada Historical Society Museum and Museum Store are open Tuesday through Saturday from 10am to 4:30pm. The Research Library is open Tuesday through Saturday from 12pm to 4pm. NHS is closed on all state holidays and UNR Home Football Games.
