The Carson City Historical Society presents "Reflections of Carson City - An Evening with Governor Bell." On Thursday, Sept. 25, Wally Earhart will portray Nevada's Gov. Frank Bell at the Carson City Library, 900 North Roop St., Carson City. The lecture will take place at 6:30 p.m. and is free and open to the public.
Gov. Bell was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on Jan. 28, 1840, and later came to Nevada. He took part in the construction of the transcontinental telegraph through Nevada in 1858. The Carson City Historical Society invites you to come and learn about the telegraph to Washington, D.C. in 1864 and about Gov. Bell - the first foreign born governor of the state.
This lecture is sponsored by the Carson City Historical Society, Carson City Re-development and the Carson City Library.
