Main Street Moments

Is there life after the Melodrama? You bet. We have all kinds of fun things planned for our members and friends. We have the March lecture featuring Bob Ellison discussing "The Search for Laura Dittenreider" who was one of the first white women in Nevada. This lecture ties into our annual celebration of Women in History. Admission to the lecture series is free for DCHS members, $3 for all others.

The reception for Women in History is scheduled for Saturday, March 24, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. This year we are honoring Native American Women, including Dat-so-la-lee, Sue Coleman, Sarah Winnemucca, Clara Frank and Susie Dick. Dianna Borges will be doing her Chautauqua presentation of Sarah Winnemucca. Admission for this event is free and the public is invited.

All monies donated to DCHS are 100% tax deductible and go to keep our doors open. We are self-funded, receiving no money from state or local entities, and are here solely to preserve the history of this wonderful valley and to make sure you have the opportunity to enjoy it. If you have any questions about anything mentioned here, please call the Douglas County Historical Society at 782-2555.
