The Little Museum with the Big Mammoth
Author talks and bird walks, mining tall tales and geology deep dives, local history and desert mystery … whatever you like, we’ve likely got it!
We’re proud of our unique area and colorful history, and educating visitors is a big part of our mission. To that end, the Shoshone Museum hosts a variety of scheduled talks and events, running from autumn through spring (generally October to April). All events are live and in-person; regrettably, we aren’t able to record or stream our talks at this time.
Talks are always free – and donations are always appreciated!
Fox comments: The story of the Nevada/California border has all the elements of an epic saga. The expedition hit its climatic low point as it hit the Amargosa Valley, and the results were errors, lawsuits, and confusion that took over a hundred years to resolve.
