Carson City hosting sesquicentennial display through Feb. 20

Nevada’s Sesquicentennial year may have ended, but it’s still being honored in an exhibit featured in the Nevada Legislature. Artifacts from the year-long celebration are currently on display until Feb. 20 on the second floor of the Legislative Building on the Senate side.

The exhibit includes the Sesquicentennial saddle handmade by J.M. Capriolas in Elko which features the GS Garcia stamp and Nevada 150 commemorative silver medallions; a diorama entitled “Home Means Nevada;” a replica of the Governor’s Mansion made out of historical playing cards; and multiple photos from the celebration.

The exhibit will go to the Grant Sawyer Building in Las Vegas before completing its journey to Battle Born Hall located in the old Senate chambers in the Capitol where it will become a permanent exhibit.
