Carson City Historical Society will host "People of the Comstock," on Feb. 17 at 7:30 p.m. via Zoom.
The guest speaker is Garrett Barmore, curator of the W. M. Keck Earth Science and Mineral Engineering Museum at the University of Nevada, Reno.
Barmore will discuss the characteristics of Virginia City in the 1860s and 1870s, the diversity of its people, its institutions, and the culture. It was not all rough-and-tumble mining-camp culture.
He received his master's degree in museology from the University of Washington and specializes in professionalizing small museums.
