Dennis Cassinelli will be telling us how the Douglas County region, as well as some of the characters from this area, participated in the Comstock boom. Dennis is an avid outdoorsman, history buff and archaeology enthusiast. He is the author of three books about the Great Basin region. Raised in Sparks, Nevada, Cassinelli developed an interest in Indian artifacts as a young boy working on his family’s ranch. In the early 1990s, he painstakingly identified hundreds of projectile points to create the Cassinelli-Perino Artifact Collection, now located at the Carson Valley Museum and Cultural Center in Gardnerville, Nevada.

The cost for admission is $3.00/ free to members of the Historical Society.
