Everything in this area seems to be named after Christopher “Kit” Carson, from Carson City and the Carson River, to the Carson Pass and Carson Valley. Join a park ranger at Mormon Station State Historic Park to find out why.

The life and adventures of this frontier legend who left a lasting mark on Northern Nevada will be revealed.

This event is free and all ages are welcome.

It is April 9 at 6pm inside the wagon shed at Mormon Station State Historic Park, 2307 Main St., Genoa.
