outdoors nevada history Fence building at the old State Capitol

By Dennis Cassinelli

The Nevada State Museum where I am a volunteer tour guide, has an option to take tours of the old Nevada State Capi- tol building on Carson Street. I have not yet given any of these tours, but I ob- served one given by Ron Roberts, who gives an excellent presentation. Visitors are taken to see the old Nevada State Su- preme Court, the governors offices and the bronze statue of Sarah Winnemucca. They can see the gallery of portraits of all the Nevada State governors from James Nye to the present. While on the tour, you can observe the substantial iron fence that surrounds the building that has an interesting history of its own. Hannah Clapp was a former school teacher from New York. She set- tled in Carson City where she convinced the Territorial Legislature to fund a pri- vate co-educational school known as the Sierra Seminary. In this effort, she had the support of Governor James Nye and Comstock mining baron, William Courtesy photo Stewart.
