Carson City Historical Society Postpones
Open Houses for a Period
Posted: May 8, 2025

As much as we would like to welcome you to visit us on Sunday afternoons, we are going to suspend Open House visits to our two cheerful yellow buildings - the Foreman-Roberts House Museum and the Carriage House - for a few months. During this time we will be preparing for our big "History of Brothels in Nevada Project," opening around mid-June. Around Nevada Day, we are likely to end the exhibit, and at that time we may resume Open Houses. We are sorry for the inconvenience, but we think it is worth the trouble.
