Step Back in Time at the Foreman-Roberts House Museum
Open House
Sunday, July 27, 2025
The Carson City Historical Society invites you to explore the rich history of our
capital city with a special Open House at the Foreman-Roberts House Museum on
Sunday, July 27, 2025, from 10:00 a.m. to noon (not 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., as previously
indicated).
Enjoy a free, docent-led tour through one of Carson City's oldest surviving homes.
Hear fascinating stories about the Foreman and Roberts families, including their
connection to famed Comstock figure Eilley Bowers and the spiritualist history tied
to the home. Learn how the house made its way to Carson City in 1874 and see rooms
filled with period artifacts that bring the 1880s to early 1900s to life.
Two current exhibits will be on display: "Northern Nevada Trains" and "The Life and
Times of the Roberts Family." Light refreshments will be served.
Admission is free, and no reservations are required. Donations are always appreciated
to help support the Society's preservation efforts.
For more information, call Liz Cain at (775) 315-9111, visit CCHistorical.org,
or email us at carsoncityhistoricalsociety@gmail.com.
Come celebrate local history with us—we look forward to welcoming you!
