Welcome!

Frankie Sue Del Papa, NHS Gala chairwoman, invites you to celebrate a special event for our 120th birthday year!

Here’s your chance to dress up in your favorite vintage attire while watching historic gambling demonstrations and trying your hand at lady luck! The presenting sponsors are the Gregory Warren Nelson Trust and Friends of the Nevada Historical Society. All proceeds from this event will directly support the Friends of the Nevada Historical Society, a 501 (c) 3 organization.

This is your opportunity to support Nevada’s oldest museum as we continue to serve Nevadans of all ages for the next 120 years.
