1927: Maynard Dixon in Northwestern Nevada

During the late summer of 1927, Maynard Dixon headed for Nevada’s northwest corner, initially planning only a two-week excursion, but the trip turned into four extraordinarily productive months. Join author and poet Carolyn Dufurrena, of Nevada’s Quinn River Ranch, as she re-traces Dixon’s 1927 journey with stops along the way at Onion Valley, Alder Creek Ranch, and Rainbow Ridge.

An Evening with Cowboy Musicians Brenn Hill and Andy Hedges

An evening of cowboy poetry and songs of the American West, featuring legendary cowboy musicians Brenn Hill and Andy Hedges.

This performance is made possible by an anonymous gift in honor of poet Paul Zarzyski and in memory of troubadour Don Edwards.
 
 
*Doors open at 5 pm with cash bar
