Forgotten Tales of Carson Valley: Love local history? Join author Karen Dustman for a fun dive into Carson Valley’s forgotten past, sharing little-known stories of buried treasure, unsolved murders, stagecoach robberies and more. Presenter: Karen Dustman writes frequently about the history of Carson Valley and Alpine County. She's the author of Forgotten Tales of Carson Valley; four books about local cemeteries; Silver Mountain City: Ghost of the Sierra, a history of Alpine County's original county seat; and a guide to early Markleeville. Karen keeps up an active history blog that’s largely devoted to Sierra history and capturing oral history. She also publishes two free newsletters: one dedicated to historical topics, and the second offering tips for memoir/family-history writers. Find her books, blog, and newsletter sign-ups at: www.Clairitage.com. To attend this lecture in person you must register.

Anne O - All Museum Volunteers
Christine F - All Museum Volunteers
Prior to retiring, I worked 46 years in nursing in med-surg clinical settings, LPN/ADN/BSN education, and as a Family Nurse Practitioner primarily with adults with chronic medical problems, post surgical care and rehabilitation. Serving as a docent, enriches my lifelong interest in people and events that made and make America what it is.
Cora J - Education Program Aide
My background is in education in the fields of PE, history, ESL and I retired as a high school librarian. I became a volunteer for the NSM because I wanted to meet new people, learn about Nevada history and then share that history with folks. The Nevada State Museum challenges me and gives me a great deal of satisfaction and a lot of pride in being able to share what the museum has to offer.
Jim M - All Museum Volunteers
Since 2018 I've volunteered to work on the coin press and help with other NSM activities. Also, for 10 years I volunteered as a docent at the UC Davis Science Center in Incline Village where I documented research projects, helped with displays and other projects. Over the previous 3 decades, I served in the military, earned my MA in journalism, and worked in Chicago and Atlanta as a faculty member with two different Art Schools while managing my own design business.
