Located in the quaint town of Genoa, Mormon Station’s lush lawns and mature trees make it an idyllic location to gather with friends and family. The site of Nevada’s first permanent, non-native settlement, Mormon Station was built in 1851 as a trading post along the Carson Route of the California Trail, providing much needed supplies to weary travelers crossing the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Today, the park is home to a reconstructed version of the original 1851 trading post that burned down in 1910 and a museum with original pioneer era artifacts. Popular annual events include the Genoa Candy Dance Arts & Crafts Faire and the Genoa Americana Celebration.
