Step Back in Time at the Foreman-Roberts House Museum Open House this Sunday 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.

The Carson City Historical Society invites you to a charming summer morning steeped in local history at the Foreman-Roberts House Museum.

On Sunday, July 27, from 10 a.m. to noon, the public is warmly welcomed to explore one of Carson City’s oldest surviving homes during a special open house event.

Guests will be treated to complimentary docent-led tours that bring the past to life, guiding visitors through rooms adorned with authentic artifacts from the 1880s to early 1900s.

Along the way, you’ll uncover the stories of the Foreman and Roberts families, their ties to Comstock legend Eilley Bowers, and the home’s intriguing connections to the spiritualist movement.

Built in the 1850s and moved to Carson City in 1874, the house remains a rare example of Gothic Revival architecture and a treasured symbol of Nevada’s past.

On view are two engaging exhibits: Northern Nevada Trains, which highlights the region’s railroading legacy, and The Life and Times of the Roberts Family, offering a personal glimpse into the family that once called the house home.

Light refreshments will be served, and admission is free. No reservations are needed, though donations are gratefully accepted to support the Society’s ongoing preservation efforts.

For more information, visit CCHistorical.org, call Liz Cain at (775) 315-9111 or email Carsoncityhistoricalsociety@gmail.com. Come celebrate the spirit of Carson City’s past—we look forward to welcoming you.
