Carson City Historical Society seeks volunteers for house tours
The Carson City Historical Society is asking the public for volunteers to help give tours of the famous Foreman-Roberts House in Carson City on Sunday afternoons.
This structure is a fine example of Gothic Revival architecture. It was moved from Old Washoe City to Carson City in the 1870s. After nearly a century of domestic use in Carson City, it was restored by the Nevada Landmarks Society, predecessor of CCHS, and now is used to exhibit artifacts related to the history of Carson City and the building itself.
In addition, CCHS has two open positions on the Board and is seeking to fill those positions. One vacancy is for Membership Chair and the other is for Exhibits Chair. The CCHS Board meets the second Monday of each month at 3:45 p.m. in the Carriage House at 1207 North Carson Street, Carson City, Nevada. (The Carriage House is directly behind the Roberts House.)
If you love history, have an interest is meeting new people, planning new displays or have ideas for history exhibits, we would like to encourage you to contact us. Our website address is: cchistorical.org and our email address is carsoncityhistoricalsociety@gmail.com.
