When your town is named Lovelock, you might as well have love locks. Yes, it is named this after…read moreWelsh settler George Lovelock (1824-1907) bought the rights here in 1866. This park is located immediately behind the Pershing County Courthouse and yes, the park is chock full of love locks. If you're not familiar with the phenomenon, lovers will write their names on the lock and then lock it, throwing away the key to signify their undying love for each other. There are bridges in Paris and New York and many other cities that are perhaps a bit better known for it. I did not have a lock today. I wonder if I could write "Bruce K." and "Yelp" on a lock? Ha!

Named after US Army General John J. Pershing (1860-1948), Pershing County was formed from Humboldt…read moreCounty in 1919 and was the last county to be established in Nevada. The county seat of Pershing County is here in Lovelock. The courthouse is a Classical Revival building and was completed in 1921. It is a hexagon with a large circular dome over the central courtroom. The courthouse features a shallow Ionic portico on a raised basement backed by a plain rectangular mass. Behind this is the hexagonal main body of the courthouse, built with curving walls. When I visited, the courthouse was open though the courtrooms were closed. It is a beautiful building and other than entirely too many printed signs posted everywhere, worth a stop and a tour. [Review 17733 overall - 74 in Nevada - 1254 of 2022.]
