Mining In Nevada Trunk
We cannot understand the history of Nevada without discussing mining – the discovery, extraction, and processing of valuable ores from beneath the surface of the land – and its impact.

This trunk offers students:
- a glimpse into how mining impacted the development and growth of the state
- how it touched the lives of miners and ranchers and shopkeepers
- how it shaped language and culture.
