Historic Home Art

This is one of the many beautiful homes located in the Carson City, Nevada Historic District. Most folks visit Nevada to gamble and carry on. 

The Historic District in the State Capital is an absolute must place to visit. Basically, pick a nice day and take in all the beautiful and historic homes...it's a great walking tour!

The tour starts downtown. You can do it on you own or, go on a guided tour.

Walking Tour Carson City Historic District

Carson City, Nevada is an interesting place! First, it is the capitol of Nevada and, second it has a historic area that is super impressive to say the least.

My wife and I took a self-guided tour of the historic area. I am sure we missed a few things because we didn't go on a guided tour. However, we did discover some of the high points of the tour as we walked through the area.

The first place we ran across was the home of Louis Prang (1824-1909)..."The Father of the American Christmas Card". He once lived in the beautiful home that's in the first photo.

He immigrated to the United States in 1850 and was trained as a lithographer. He started the greeting card movement in 1856. Some of his cards sold for a dollar each even then!

This next home the "Krebs-Peterson House" is where segments of "The Shootist" with John Wayne, James Stewart,Ron Howard,Harry Morgan and Lauren Bacall was filmed.

Next, we skipped to the Nevada "Governor's Mansion". Very impressive and it seemed there were a lot of "worker bees" around to keep it that way.
