The Carson City Historical Society invites the community to enjoy a beautiful autumn afternoon at the historic Foreman–Roberts House Museum, 1207 North Carson Street, on Sunday, Nov. 15, from 1 to 3 p.m. Admission is free, and donations are gratefully accepted.
One of Carson City’s architectural treasures, the charming Gothic Revival home offers visitors a glimpse into life in Nevada’s capital during an earlier era. Guests are invited to explore the beautifully preserved house, admire its Victorian details and discover the stories behind this beloved local landmark.
A special attraction is the museum’s newest exhibit, “Childhood Treasures,” a delightful collection of antique and vintage dolls celebrating the toys and traditions of generations past. Lovingly assembled by CCHS Historian Sue Ballew and longtime member Andrea Hobbs, the exhibit features Victorian-era dolls, Shirley Temple favorites, Effanbee Patsy dolls, musical dolls, dolls from around the world, and familiar storybook characters, including Huckleberry Finn.
Visitors will also discover five charming handmade applehead dolls, created around 1976 by Daisy McGill and generously loaned by her granddaughter, longtime CCHS member Yvonne Rutter.
Whether you’re a longtime Carson City resident, a history enthusiast, or simply curious about the beautiful yellow Victorian house on North Carson Street, this is a wonderful opportunity to explore a special piece of our community’s heritage.
