Kittie Wilkins: The Remarkable Life of The West’s Premier Horse Breeder and Businesswoman
Kittie Wilkins was an extraordinary woman whose life defied the conventions of her time. Born in the American West, she received a consistent education despite her family’s frequent relocations to various boomtowns, where her father, J.R. Wilkins, established businesses aimed at serving mining communities. After devastating fires destroyed their ventures in Boise, Idaho and Tuscarora, Nevada, the Wilkins family settled in the Bruneau Valley along the Snake River. There, they established a ranch where they raised cattle and horses, including capturing and domesticating wild horses from the nearby Jarbidge range.
Following her graduation, Kittie embarked on an extensive tour of the United States, broadening her perspective and refining her ambitions. Upon her return, her father entrusted her with full authority over the ranch’s horse breeding, training, and sales operations. She became the most prominent horse breeder and stock saleswoman in the West, amassing a fortune and earning widespread recognition.
This presentation, by Richard H. Dorman, explores the compelling story of Kittie Wilkins—a trailblazing entrepreneur whose legacy continues to inspire.
Here and Hereafter: Nevada Voices on Life and the Great Beyond
A profound exploration of human experience through the lens of those who call Nevada home. The book features in-depth conversations with notable Nevadans, including Harry Reid, Mike Tyson, Elaine Wynn, Brian Sandoval, Frankie Sue Del Papa, Oscar Goodman, Jill Tolles, Jon Ralston, Sig Rogich, and Mark Twain. These interviews offer a unique perspective on life and the afterlife, challenging readers to contemplate the mysteries of existence. This book is not only a thought-provoking read but also a testament to Pat Hickey’s skill and sensitivity in capturing the voices and stories that shape the Silver State.
Pat Hickey, a former Republican Assembly Leader and columnist for the Reno Gazette-Journal, has been a ski bum, reporter, education advocate, and a proud parent and grandparent. His book was based on interviews conducted during the COVID-19 lockdown period, where he sought to understand the thoughts of a diverse group of Nevadans on life after death.
Hair, Makeup, and Me (Virtual Zoom)
Putting on your face, or applying makeup, is an activity most women and some men do daily. Curator, Jan Loverin, explores a brief history of this ritual and its meanings – from protecting our eyes from sun glare, to understanding the significance of “lip candy,” to disparate challenges due to skin color – makeup is an integral part of culture and society. This, along with developments in the hair care industry, generates an engaging lecture that provides background, understanding, and insight into the importance of appearance.
Loverin has been the curator of clothing and textiles at the Nevada State Museum since 1991. Her undergraduate degree is in biology from Whittier College, and her master’s is from UNR in home economics and museum studies.

Revolutionizing Divorce: How Nevada Changed America’s Marital Landscape
For the first six decades of the 20th century, thousands of discontented husbands and wives flocked to Nevada, particularly to Reno, to end their marriages. They were drawn by a unique set of legal provisions that enabled what became known as the migratory divorce trade. This unusual industry not only transformed Nevada’s economy, culture, and image, but also paved the way for the greater acceptance of divorce in American society. Tracing its context back to the marital laws of the colonial era, Dr. Alicia Barber will explain what made the Nevada divorce so revolutionary, for the state and the entire country.

An Archaeological Tour of Nevada’s Cortez Mining District
The Cortez Hills Expansion Project archaeological excavations uncovered a wealth of information about the Cortez Mining District, from its beginning in 1863 to the government-mandated end to the mining of precious metals in the district during World War II.
Authors Obermayr and McQueen use archaeological data as a foundation to tell the story of life in one of Nevada’s most intriguing, long-lived mining districts. Uncovering the homes and workplaces—and even trash dumps—of prospectors and miners, mill workers, charcoal burners, brickmakers, blacksmiths, teamsters, and families. Who were the ethnic groups, how did they live, and what products did they consume?

“Undismayed by Any Mere Man”: The Accomplishments of Nevada’s Female Lawmakers
In 1914, when Nevada women won the right to vote, they also won the right to hold public office. Four years later, Sadie Hurst of Reno became the first woman to win a seat in the Nevada Legislature, blazing the trail for 20 additional women who served in that lawmaking body over the next 40 years. These 21 legislators represented both major political parties, hailed from nearly every county in the state, and reflected a wide range of personal and professional backgrounds. This presentation will introduce these remarkable Nevadans, describe their legislative experiences, and explore their enduring contributions to the state.
A century of the lost city
Join us for a special exhibit opening and lecture exploring the 1925 and 1926. Lost City Pageants—historic celebrations that ultimately inspired the creation of the Boulder Dam Park Museum (today known as the Lost City Museum) in 1935. These pageants played a pivotal role in sparking public interest in the region’s archaeological excavations.
Light refreshments will be provided during the opening reception.
History of Hamilton, Nevada, White Pine County’s original county seat (Virtual Zoom)
Explore the rich history of Nevada’s first eastern mining boom using historic maps and photographs. Learn how the 1867 silver discovery of Treasure Hill in White Pine Mining District launched one of the most intense mining rushes in American history, which would help establish Hamilton by May 1868.
The mining boom was intensive because it was the first discovery after the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad, allowing easy transportation to the site.
Hamilton, Nevada, was established in May 1868, and it grew rapidly as a bustling mining town, becoming the first county seat of White Pine County in 1869. This was a short-lived silver stampede, 1868 – 1869. Reasons for the decline included the silver was only shallow, two fires destroyed the main portion of the town, and then the courthouse; the county seat was moved to Ely in 1887.
After Another Eight Score: Jefferson, Lincoln, and Nevada
At Gettysburg, Abraham Lincoln referred back to Thomas Jefferson and the Declaration of Independence in describing “a new birth of freedom.” Less than a year later, Nevada became a state. How were these people and events connected? This lecture will examine how Nevada reflects—and does not reflect—what Jefferson and Lincoln had in mind.
Michael Green is chair of the UNLV Department of History. He is the author of ”Nevada: A History of the Silver State” and several other works on Nevada, as well as books about the Civil War era, including ”Lincoln and the Election of 1860” and ”Lincoln and Native Americans.” He is the executive director of the Pacific Coast Branch of the American Historical Association and Preserve Nevada, and writes “Nevada Yesterdays,” read by former U.S. Senator Richard Bryan for Nevada Public Radio.

Rhyolite: The Life and Death of a Boom Town (Virtual Zoom)
In 1903, there were no buildings, no roads, and no people in what was to become Rhyolite. Only five years later, some 6,000 optimists lived in an area that was served by three different railroads and was the fourth-largest town in Nevada. But less than a decade afterwards, silence returned to this remote desert valley, as only a handful of people remained.

Bulkeley Wells and the United Comstock Mines
The Writers’ Wednesday Lecture Series, held the second Wednesday of each month, features a different author who takes part in a book signing, a presentation and question-and-answer session with the audience.
This book by Richard E. Lippoth, is a biography about an important but forgotten U.S. mining industry leader of the early 20th century. During the 1920s, Bulkeley Wells played a pivotal role in the unfortunate events surrounding the United Comstock Mines and various other mining and hydroelectric ventures across Colorado, Nevada, and California.
Our Public Lands
“Our Public Lands” are a fact of everyday life in most far western states. How did the words “our” and “public” come to identify lands now largely under the administration of the United States Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management, National Parks, and various wildlife reserves? Why not simply say, “federal government lands?” That’s an option, but “our lands” can be applied, too. In a republic, the people are ultimately the owners and directors of the government nation. Notice the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution begins with, “We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union.”
Even before the writing of the Constitution in 1787, the American revolutionary government under the Articles of Confederation claimed ownership of the western lands to the Mississippi River, as recognized by Great Britain in the Treaty of Paris that ended the successful American Revolution in 1783. From that point on, and in the prior colonial period, Western lands have played a significant role in the history of the American people. Let’s see how this story unfolds in a time span of more than 250 years as we attempt to understand how Western lands became “Our Public Lands.”
High Noon – Our Nevada Stories: Oral History Project for America250
Speaker: Bradford McMullen, Folklife Specialist, Nevada Arts Council, Las Vegas, and State of Nevada Folklorist
Talk Summary: Every Nevadan has a story, and Brad McMullen is interested in hearing as many of them as he can.

These stories are being edited into podcasts that will be airing in 2026, and the archives will open soon for people to explore. If you’re looking to learn more about how to either share your own story or listen to others, this is the talk for you.

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.
