Adaptive Reuse and Revitalization of the Downtown Post Office - Tuesday, March 2, 2021, 5:30 p.m. In 1934, a new post office opened at 50 S. Virginia alongside the Truckee River. It was a beautiful Art Moderne / ZigZag Modern building designed by Frederic DeLongchamps with Edward Parsons. It opened during the main decade of the divorce era and was an extremely busy "General Delivery" site. This is a virtual presentation via Zoom. Presented by Bernie Carter.

Before Reno and Sparks — Early Communities in the Truckee Meadows - Tuesday, April 6, 2021, 5:30 p.m. Early settlers in the Truckee Meadows knew nothing of Reno or Sparks. Instead, they lived in communities like Eastman Mill and Brown's Crossing — villages whose names no longer appear on modern maps. Like much of Nevada, the Truckee Meadows between 1855 - 1868 was dotted with small settlements. This is a virtual presentation via Zoom. Presented by Betsy Morse.
