Carson City Mint

East Tour of LHA 2011 conference in pictures

June 23, 2011 by Cece

Hello all:

Another great day, but man I am tired.  Today’s tour was in Nevada. We started in Stateline, and then went to Carson City, Dayton, and then came back to Lake Tahoe for the Thunderbird lodge tour at sunset (an old mansion built from 1936-1939).

Again, I will write more later, but here are the highlights of the day.

This is Coin Press #1. This is the first coin press ever used in the United States, and still makes coins/medallions today. All of us who went on the tour today have a special medallion made for us, and it was made just for us.
Feral Horses outside Carson City, NV.
The historical society of Dayton NV went all out for us. We were able to walk the whole town for 2 hours today.
Sign on Dayton Fire House, Dayton NV.
Horse Hitch outside of the main saloon, Dayton NV.
Fence in Dayton, NV.
Coach/Carriage house, Dayton NV.
Original Lincoln Highway stretch outside Dayton, NV.
Thunderbird Lodge at sunset, Lake Tahoe.
Looking down to the water at the lodge. Yes, the rumors are true. Lake Tahoe is very clear. You can see down 100 feet in some places.
Another great sunset in Lake Tahoe. It will be hard to leave.
