Repeat Presentation:
Carson City Historical Society Presents
"Carson City: Then & Now" Lecture on April 27 at Brewery Arts Center
Sunday, April 27, 2025
Following a standing-room-only presentation by Jed Block on March 9,
the Carson City Historical Society, in conjunction with the Brewery Arts Center,
is proud to present a repeat presentation of his "Carson City: Then & Now"
lecture on Sunday, April 27, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. The presentation
will be at the Brewery Arts Center's Grand Ballroom, 449 W. King St., Carson City.
Mr. Block is a dedicated historian and Carson City native with over
two decades of experience researching and documenting Carson City's rich past.
A well-known expert in the Capital City's history, Block is passionate about sharing
its stories to inspire a greater appreciation for historic preservation.
Mr. Block currently serves on the Carson City Historic Resources Commission,
where he previously held the position of Chairman. His extensive collection of
historic photographs and research has made his "Carson City: Then & Now" series
a local favorite, offering a glimpse into the city's lost landmarks and evolving landscape.
Block's journey into history began over 20 years ago while researching a
redevelopment project, sparking a lifelong commitment to preserving and educating
others about Carson City's heritage. Through his work, he hopes to encourage awareness
and advocacy for the city's remaining historical treasures.
This is a paid event. There will be a $15 charge for tickets, available for purchase
on the BAC website, breweryarts.org. The link is scheduled to be posted on March 25. For questions about
this presentation contact the Society for reservations at
Carsoncityhistoricalsociety@gmail.com or call Liz Cain 775-315-9111 for more information.
