  • Final Report 1864 – 2014
    Nevada sesquicentennial FINAL REPORT 1864 – 2014 As Chairman of the Nevada Sesquicentennial Commission, it gives me great pleasure to present on behalf of the Commission the Final Report of the year-long celebration in honor of Nevada’s 150th anniversary of statehood – a year that will long and fondly be remembered by the citizens of our state as a fitting tribute to this significant milestone. As you will see in this report, the year was filled with numerous memorable events covering all corners of our state: parades, rodeos, art exhibits, cake cuttings, original plays, a star-studded concert in Las Vegas, balloon races, the historic Union Pacific Battle Born Express traversing the Great Basin and a world record-setting statewide sing along of “Homes Means Nevada.” It was also a busy year for several of the more captivating and colorful characters (past and present) who have called Nevada home. From the irrepressible Mark Twain, who served as an official “ambassador” of the Commission throughout the year, to another man known for “spinnin’ tales,” Waddie Mitchell, the critically acclaimed cowboy poet who brilliantly captured the essence of our state in his poem “Dame Nevada.” The gentle presence of President Abraham Lincoln was also felt through an exquisite display at the Nevada Museum of Art in its exhibit, “The 36th Star,” highlighted by the arrival of one of America’s most sacred documents – The Emancipation Proclamation. The Commission was originally challenged to oversee at least 150 Official, Signature and Legacy Events during the course of the year. It eventually approved or managed 505 events – far surpassing original expectations! Another mandate to the Commission was to perform its mission with private funds – not at taxpayer expense.
