    I liked that they let you inside the church and house dating back to early 1900's. They had a mammoth skull along with other ancient fish. They also had quite a few of first motorized automobiles

    A definite must see in winnemucca!

    Finding myself in Winnemucca on a rainy day, I headed for this weird-ass joint mainly to escape the…read morerain. But OMG! What a find!!! Basically an abandoned casino that has been repurposed into a convention center/museum/visitors' center/taxidermy hall of fame/shame, going in here feels like wandering around the NYC Natural History Museum after dark -- creepy and bizarre! The Buckaroo Hall of Fame exhibits have a lot of interesting cowboy artifacts and info...plus there's a huge collection of mining belt buckles (!!) and stuffed dead animals. The visitors center has postcards and tourist info for all the local stuff. I seriously enjoyed myself here, rain or not! Winnemucca gets a bad rap, but I actually found the town very charming. Hey, it's better than Tonopah!!!

    I've been to the West Hall for two events, the 2010 Basque heritage dinner and wine tasting and the…read more2010 Hops & Grapes. During both events, I was pleased by the amount of space, the cleanliness of the facilities, and the friendliness of the staff. I've only been into the East Hall for a brief moment. I did, however, get to check out the big game/ natural history type exhibit. I'm glad that WInnemucca has these facilities to help promote cultural and community events. I know the Convention Center has also played host to things like 4-H fairs, photography exhibits/ competitions, and sportsmans' group dinners.

    Thunder Mountain Monument - One of a kind, no doubt about it!

    In the middle of the Nevada desert, a stones throw from I-80 is a monument. I guarantee that any…read moreperson that visits it, will be affected. It was put together by a man named Frank Van Zant, the son of a Native American who was a member of the Creek tribe. Frank Van Zant served in WWII. There is a TON of YouTube and Wikipedia about the guy and his work. By the time I finished deep diving into this, I am convinced that the man held a lot of beliefs that many wouldn't understand fully. I think he was a good man at his core and he lived his life the way HE wanted to live it. The site is literally in the middle of nowhere (Nevada Desert) but right off the 1-80. Yes it is the oddest monument I have ever seen. The man claims to pay homage to Native Americans but there is way more going on here then just that. Fact is, we weren't sure what to think, other than this place was one of a kind. We stayed about an hour looking at all of the work he had done. 2 days later, I'm still thinking about this. There are two short movies (about 30 minutes) showing Frank talking about his place as you get a bit of insight to his minds eye. If you ever come upon Imlay Nevada, you absolutely need to stop here. We definitely will see it again.

    Very interesting monument and a great stop to stretch your legs on I-80. The concept that inspired…read morethe buildings here is really cool.
