A Culture Steeped in the Past
Most would agree that Northeastern Nevada has its own unique culture. Here, Nevadans pride themselves in and celebrate the resilience, accomplishments, and creativity of those who’ve come before. From the settlers who first traveled across this sea of sagebrush to the Basque who came shortly thereafter. From the gold rush miners to the Great Basin Buckaroos, Northeastern Nevada commemorates our heritage with a variety of museums while hosting a multitude of events that highlight the rare attributes that made us what we are today.
