Nevada found itself at a crossroads of national and regional developments. While awash with gold, silver, and other minerals, it took the emergence of a national system of transportation and national markets to capitalize those ore deposits, and by so doing vitalize what was an arid and sparsely populated region.

  • HENDERSON HISTORICAL SOCIETY NEWSLETTER August, 2018 Our
    HENDERSON HISTORICAL SOCIETY NEWSLETTER August, 2018 Our last newsletter was mailed out in April. After a relaxing summer the Historical Society is back to work planning new events and recalling what has happened since April: Heritage Days/Pioneer Days: There was a wonderful parade on Water Street in the morning and a gathering of Henderson Pioneers in the evening. Historical Society leaders gave an accounting of the year’s accomplishments and a preview of things to come. We remembered a great lady of Henderson and celebrated with an old fashioned ice cream social, the kind Tina Smith would have loved. Her family was there to help us. Henderson History buffs told stories we hadn’t heard and made recommendations that caused us to reflect. Emerald Island/A Meet and Greet: The Henderson Historical Society had a good time at the Emerald Island, Friday, May 4, 2018. The Emerald Island is a modern casino with good food and a welcoming staff. The “meet and greet” it sponsored was also a reunion of sorts. The Henderson Historical Society displayed pictures of the Henderson Townsite dating back to the 1940s and 50s along with photos of the families that managed the shops and businesses of that day including: Joe and Dottie McBeath, who managed the town’s drugstore, barber-Pratt Prince, manager of the bowling alley/pool hall Ed Peisker and his daughter, Betty Jo, who helped him run the treats concession. The historic pictures displayed came from The City of Henderson, the Clark County Museum, and the Henderson Libraries-Digital Collection. Betty Jo Peisker supplied family photos for the event which will be added to the HHS collection.
