Frances Humphrey Lecture Series "The Legacy of the Carson City Mint" by Robert Nylen

Discover the fascinating history and enduring impact of the Carson City U.S. Mint, a pivotal institution in Nevada’s rich heritage. From its establishment in 1870 to its closure in 1893, the mint played a defining role not only in the early economy of the Silver State, but also influenced Nevada’s social and cultural identity as well by helping establish Carson City as a vital hub during the late 19th Century. Today, the legacy of the Carson City U.S. Mint is preserved and celebrated as part of the Nevada State Museum, which serves as a bridge between the past and present, ensuring that the mint’s valuable heritage continues to inspire and educate future generations. Admission is $10 for adults, members and children ages 17 and under are free.
