We have selected our favorite, sometimes less known
places to see when visiting Nevada.
Alaska Native Heritage Center
Bowers Mansion - near Carson City
This large Italian-style home was built in 1864 by a silver miner, Sandy
Bowers, who made a fortune from the Comstock Lode. Located on the eastern
slope of the Sierra Nevada, the fully restored mansion provides a glimpse of
what life was like in Nevada during the 1860s.
Great Basin National Park - near Baker
The beautiful and desolate landscape of the park forms the backdrop for a
natural laboratory that provides visitors with many learning experiences.
Explore salt flats, caverns, alpine wildflowers, the mining industry, and
the cultural and geographic diversity of the area.
Hoover Dam - 30 miles southeast of Las Vegas
Built during the depression to provide power and irrigation water for parts
of Nevada, California and Arizona, the dam is a National Historic Landmark.
It has been rated by the American Society of Civil Engineers as one of
America's Seven Modern Civil Engineering Wonders.
Tonopah -
Located halfway between Las Vegas and Reno, this historic town was once
known as the Queen of the Silver Camps. It was established in 1900 at the
beginning of Nevada’s last great mining rush. Tour the 100-acre Tonopah
Mining Park on the exact site of the original mining claim. Explore the
colorful history of central Nevada at the Museum which features miners'
cabins and railroad displays.
