Mormon Station, Genoa, Nevada

Mormon Station Historic State Monument
Genoa, Nevada

In June of 1850 a group of Mormons led by Abner and Thomas Blackburn, Hampton S. Beatie and Joseph Dumont established a trading post located about a mile away from today's Mormon Station Historic Monument. In September 1850, as the group returned to Salt Lake City, a party of Bannock Indians attacked them and stole most of their horses and livestock. On September 9, 1850, the U.S. congress created the Utah Territory, which included the location of today's Mormon Station. Nine months later on June 1st 1851, Salt Lake merchants John and Enoch Reese arrived to establish Mormon Station, which was the first settlement in present-day Nevada.

Enjoy a visit to the Mormon Station Historic Monument museum, there is a small fee to enter. There are also several wagons on display outside the museum, including the Conestoga and Buckboard wagons.
