Carson City 2024 Historic Resources Commission scavenger hunt begins today
In recognition of Historic Preservation and Archeological Awareness Month, the City’s Historic Resources Commission has organized the 2024 Scavenger Hunt.
This year’s hunt focuses on the early years of Carson City, beginning in the 1860s and continuing through 1900, and will ask participants to match the architectural term with the correct house.
A copy of the 2024 Scavenger Hunt can be obtained starting Wednesday, May 1, 2024, at 108 East Proctor Street or at carson.org/scavengerhunt. The website link will be live online beginning Wednesday.
Completed answers are due by 3 p.m. May 31, 2024. Answers may be submitted in person at 108 East Proctor Street, online, or emailed to planning@carson.org. For the 6th year in a row, Jim Phalan of Fox Brewpub is donating a gift card to the person whose hunt is randomly drawn from correct entries.
Also, at the Board of Supervisor’s May 2 meeting, the 2024 Historic Preservation Award will be presented, recognizing Sarah Martin for her outstanding contributions to Carson City’s Historic Preservation, including the preservation of the Rinkel Mansion located at 102 N. Curry Street; and posthumously recognizing Stan Jones for his continuous support of the Historic District and the work of the Carson City Historic Resources Commission.
