Sierra View Library
The Civic Life of Verna Stumpf Paterson: Democracy and Public Service in Mid-Century Reno
The Nevada Historical Society’s building may be closed for an exciting remodel, but you can still enjoy their fascinating lectures at the Sierra View Library during their closure. NHS Nevada History – On The GO! Series is combining its three history programs, which delve into Nevada History, Lake Tahoe, and the American Gaming Archives’ history of gambling and gaming. Make sure to visit Sierra View Library on the first Saturday of every month to learn more about Nevada’s history through these engaging talks that are geared towards audiences of all ages.
Speaker: Kim Roberts, historian and former photo curator at Special Collections at UNR.
Title of Talk: The Civic Life of Verna Stumpf Paterson: Democracy and Public Service in Mid-Century Reno
Summary of Talk: Verna Stumpf Paterson trained as a chemist, moving to Reno in 1923 to attend graduate school. She never became a scientist. In a world where women’s professional options were limited, she instead threw herself into the issues of her day, becoming engaged with various civic and community groups who guided and informed the citizens of Nevada through the maze of economic and social challenges they faced. Through organizations such as the American Association of University Women, she remained active her entire life, particularly in the buildup to WWII and the post-war environment. This lecture will examine the life and community service of this extraordinary woman, showing how local history feeds into the broader movements that define our country’s history.
Speaker Bio: Kimberly Roberts grew up all over the American West, mainly in Colorado. She studied literature and history at Colorado State University and has a master’s degree in the history of photography, landscape, and science from the University of Nevada, Reno, where she served as the university’s photograph curator in Special Collections. In 2003, she and her husband bought an unassuming Colonial Revival cottage in what is now Reno’s Wells Avenue Bungalow District, a house built in 1923 by Chester Paterson for his bride, Verna Stumpf.
We would like to thank our partner, the Washoe County Library System, and the Sierra View Library for hosting our off-site lectures.

U.S.Army’s 250th birthday
Nevada Guard, State Archives hold event to celebrate U.S. Army’s 250th birthday, Flag Day at Capitol on June 14 CARSON CITY — The Nevada National Guard is set to host its 27th annual Flag Day Ceremony and the U.S. Army’s 250th Birthday celebration in partnership with Nevada State Archives at 10 a.m. on Saturday, June 14, at the Veterans Memorial on the Capitol Grounds, 101 N. Carson St.
The event is free and open to the public and will include a historical flag presentation by the Nevada Air Guard. This year’s ceremony will include remarks from Brig. Gen. D. Rodger Waters, Nevada Adjutant General. Additionally, Nevada State Archives will remain open for members of the public to see its newest exhibit, “All For Our Country,” which focuses on Nevadans who served in the military during the Civil War, Spanish-American War, World War I, and World War II. Nevada State Museum, Carson City, Nevada Historical Society, Stewart Indian School Cultural Center and Museum and Westwall Militaria antique store have loaned items for the exhibit.
WHAT – Nevada Guard’s 27th annual Flag Day ceremony and recognition of the U.S. Army’s 250th birthday celebration WHEN – 10 a.m., Saturday, June 14
WHERE – Veterans Memorial, Capitol Grounds, 101 N. Carson St., Carson City
WHY – To commemorate the U.S. Flag and recognize the Army’s 250th birthday
The event is open to the public. The U.S. Army is two years older than the U.S. Flag. A resolution of the Continental Congress authorized 10 companies of riflemen on June 14, 1775, to establish the U.S. Army. Two years later, the Continental Congress passed the first Flag Act and adopted the stars-and- stripes design as our nation’s flag. In 1949, President Harry Truman signed an act of Congress designating June 14 at National Flag Day.
2 Lights for Tomorrow
America250 Nevada is encouraging statewide participation from the state capitol building to displays at municipal buildings to lights in neighborhoods and homes.
Join us on April 18 at 3 p.m., the State of Nevada’s State Capitol, 101 N Carson St, Carson City, NV 89701,will illuminate the cupola with two lights. We will hold a ceremony where a proclamation from the Governor will be read, the Henry Wadsworth Longfellow poem, “Paul Revere’s Ride” will be recited, and the lights will be lit in preparation for the anniversary.
