Before Reno and Sparks — Early Communities in the Truckee Meadows - Tuesday, April 6, 2021, 5:30 p.m. Early settlers in the Truckee Meadows knew nothing of Reno or Sparks. Instead, they lived in communities like Eastman Mill and Brown's Crossing — villages whose names no longer appear on modern maps. Like much of Nevada, the Truckee Meadows between 1855 - 1868 was dotted with small settlements. This is a virtual presentation via Zoom. Presented by Betsy Morse. Visit the Historic Reno Preservation Society website for Zoom details.

American Mountain Men - Tuesday, May 4, 2021, 5:30 p.m. Learn about the beaver trappers of the "fur trade era" (1800-1840) and how the American Mountain Men research and teach the skills and history of these important pathfinders. This is a virtual presentation via Zoom. Registration required. Presented by Larry Walker. Visit the Historic Reno Preservation Society website to register and for Zoom details.
