e are very restricted by our small staff, which can only be in so many places at
once - wearing only so many hats at one time. Yes, we struggle like any other
small museum. Vision isn't the problem; it's time and staffing! So much to be done!
We are quite pleased with what we have been accomplishing so far. CNM has a
wonderful, constantly-growing, research library which will soon be accessible online
for all researchers (which translates to everyone that's curious about a subject
or person in our area). We have an extensive map and photo collection for browsing or
locating something specific, as well as terrific displays inside and out. We enjoy
interacting with schoolchildren and tour groups in addition to individual visitors.
e respond to research inquiries and invite you to use our research facilities.
You can easily contribute to the preservation of our history by becoming a
member of CNHS, which entitles you to: one historic photograph with
descriptive caption, one issue of our annual publication, "Central Nevada's Glorious
Past" and a 10% discount in the CNHS Gift Shop (when visiting the museum).
In addition, "Life Members" receive a commemorative plaque. Membership rates
are contained in the application blank. Please feel free to request additional
information by phone, mail or e-mail. We hope you'll join us here in Tonopah for
our continuing adventures in the high desert of Central Nevada!
