  • Ghosts from the Past: the History of Northern Nevada’s Pioneer Cemeteries

    SAVE THE DATE! On August 1 at 10 a.m, AHP’s President Jay Dickey will give a talk entitled “Ghosts from the Past: the History of Northern Nevada’s Pioneer Cemeteries,” in which he will provide an overview of some of the leading pioneers who came to Northern Nevada, and who founded the cities and towns that fueled the growth of Northern Nevada. The cemeteries of Northern Nevada contain the ghosts of many of the men and women who helped create the great state of Nevada, and who live on in our memories.     This summer event will take place at the Dangberg Home Ranch Historic Park in Minden, Nevada. Jay will be speaking at the Ranch's outdoor (covered) stage, to which everyone is invited to bring their folding chairs and your favorite food & beverage. Admission is FREE. More details will follow as we get closer to the date.


Preserving Individual Legacies and Historical Moments

At American Heritage Partners, we embrace the significance of commemorating individual remembrances, anniversaries, deaths, and notable moments in history. By doing so, we strive to ensure that the intrinsic importance of these lives and details are not lost to the passage of time. Through remembering the people and places of our past, we lay the foundation upon which our lives, memories, and American stories are built. These connections serve as a guiding force, tethering us to the past while propelling us towards the future. In our endeavor to share the stories of great leaders, courageous civilians, and the captivating faces from America’s history, we transcend the mere narrative to illuminate the lives of those who shaped the fabric of our world today. As a privately funded nonprofit organization, American Heritage Partners is dedicated to preserving America’s history, narrating the complete American story, cultivating resilient communities, and investing in the future of preservation.

Join us in preserving the intricate tapestry of American history and forging a stronger future for generations to come.
