AHP hosted an event in Carson City, NV featuring guest Kim Harris, who gave a “chautauqua” performance about the life of Anne Hutchinson, prominent figure in the history of New England who fought for religious freedom in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the 1630’s; for her non-conformism she was banished, and later she and her children were murdered by Indians. The event was co-sponsored by the Nevada Mayflower Society and several other organizations.
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.
