The Foreman-Roberts House.
The Carson City Historical Society is seeking volunteers to help give tours of the Foreman-Roberts House in Carson City on Sunday afternoons.
This structure is a fine example of Gothic Revival architecture. It was moved from Old Washoe City to Carson City in the 1870s. After nearly a century of domestic use in Carson City, it was restored by the Nevada Landmarks Society, predecessor of CCHS, and now is used to exhibit artifacts related to the history of Carson City and the building itself.
In addition, CCHS has two open positions on the board. One vacancy is for membership chair and the other is for exhibits chair.
The CCHS board meets on the second Monday of each month at 3:45 p.m. in the Carriage House at 1207 N. Carson St. (The Carriage House is directly behind the Roberts House).
The Carson City Historical Society is a nonprofit organization that operates and maintains the Foreman-Roberts House Museum. It also presents lectures, exhibits, and events.
