The board of directors of the Nevada State Prison Preservation Society has announced dates for the 2022 tour season of the historic Nevada State Prison.
The Nevada State Prison has an extensive history within Carson City, beginning as the site of the first meetings of the territorial legislature, and quickly becoming the territorial prison in 1862.
With statehood in 1864, it became the Nevada State Prison, and was the only state prison in Nevada until the late 1950s. Until its closing in 2012, it was one of the oldest prisons still operating in the country.
Tours are scheduled to take place each day at 10 and 11 a.m., noon, and 1 p.m.
Tour dates are May 7, 21, 28, 29, 30; June 4, 18; July 2, 3, 4, 16; Aug. 6, 20; Sept. 3, 4, 5, 17; and Oct. 1, 15, 28, 29, 30. Tickets are $15 each.
