Nevada State Museum

Celebrate Nevada Parade Day with

Ellen Hopkins & Characters of the Comstock

Following the Nevada Day Parade, enjoy a refreshing, fun-filled afternoon at the Nevada State Museum with free admission for the whole family! Join NY Times bestselling author Ellen Hopkins as she shares Characters of the Comstock, a fun-filled hour of fascinating stories, gleaned from Virginia City’s boom-and-bust history. Fact or fiction? You decide. The excitement begins at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, November 1, 2008 in the museum’s South Changing Gallery.

Please check back in September for 2008 details.

The Nevada State Museum actively engages people in understanding and celebrating Nevada’s natural and cultural heritage. The museum collects, preserves, and presents this heritage through exhibits, educational programs, and publications. Exhibits highlight the state’s geology, history, a replica walk-through mine and ghost town, and Under One Sky: Nevada’s Native American Heritage.

The museum is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily.

Admission is $5 for adults, $3 for seniors, and free for children under 18. For information, call (775) 687-4810
