Mormon Station State Historic Park The log cabin museum is a replica of the original trading post built in 1851 by John Reese.

Mormon Station, as it came to be known, was one of the most important trading stations along the Carson route of the California Trail. Mormon Station State Historic Park is a Nevada State Park unit located in Genoa, Nevada. The park interprets the site of the first permanent, non-native settlement in the state, and features a museum (built as a replica of the original 1851 trading post), stockade, picnic grounds, walking paths, and group use areas (available by reservation).

With Mormon Station back to summers hours (10am-4pm, 7 days/week), we have noticed an increase in visitation. This includes more than just the daytime humans, as we are beginning to see regular visits from a large momma bear with her two cubs. They have already actively raided some trash in the area. So, when visiting our park, please be BEAR AWARE!

With over 2 feet of snow falling in Genoa, keeping the park open has been a challenge. The beauty of seeing our special place covered in winter's white glow, however, makes for extraordinary picture-taking.

With the addition of the Kinsey property to the park, we also have added more space to observe the wild visitors who use our park as a sanctuary throughout the day and evenings. With the deer rutting season in full swing, it makes for interesting wildlife viewing in the park this time of year.

Clearly, even the wildlife admire the Kinsey House, as evidenced in the first pic. As for the last pic of one of our late night visitors, I will leave that up to our social media audience; can you identify this elusive creature?
