Mormon Station State Historic Park hosts the sixth annual Nevada Living History Day June 19. This celebration will show how early settlers lived, worked and played.

This free program runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Visitors will see pioneer re-enactors fire off a cannon and muskets inside the walls of the stockade several times throughout the day.

Members of the Sierra Nevada and Truckee Meadows Living History groups will demonstrate rope making, Dutch-oven cooking, corn-husk doll making, pioneer games and more.

Families are welcome to picnic or barbecue lunch and spend the day in Genoa on the grass under the shade of the old trees

The log cabin museum is open with new changes to this year's exhibit. Museum admission is $1 for adults. Children 12 and younger are free. No pets.
