Historic Genoa, Nevada is nestled at the base of the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada Range, just 25 minutes east of beautiful Lake Tahoe and one hour south of Reno.
It is home to Mormon Station State Historical Park which commemorates the first settlement of Nevada in 1851, when the first permanent trading post was established by a group of Mormon traders from Salt Lake City.
Genoa’s natural beauty, historic charms, and local wildlife still beckon travelers today. It is not unusual to spot mule deer as they come down from the forested area on the west side of Genoa and cross local roads to graze on vegetation or fields along the Carson River Valley to the east of Genoa.
The small town boasts many local amenities and shops, and welcomes visitors for a day trip or longer, restful stay. Learn about Genoa’s past with a visit to Mormon Station State Historical Park Museum and Genoa Courthouse Museum. Stop by the Genoa Cemetery or the infamous Hanging Tree. Stroll through a variety of shops, and be sure to make time for a leisurely lunch or dinner.
Considering a stay in Genoa? There is much to do in the surrounding area including hiking, biking, golfing, flying, fishing, and shopping, just to name a few. Check out the Carson Valley Visitors Authority for more information about Genoa and the surrounding Carson Valley.
Be sure to mark your calendar for the last full weekend in September and visit during the annual Genoa Candy Dance Arts and Crafts Faire. Since 1919, volunteers have come together to make the wonderful homemade candy sold during the weekend event. Complemented by a Saturday night Dinner-Dance, this two day event is well-known as one of the greatest craft fairs in Northern Nevada, drawing artisans and visitors from around the country.
