Dinner starts at 4:30 p.m. and lecture starts at 7:00 p.m.

The court of public opinion sentenced her to a life of public scrutiny and branded her a social pariah.

Lizzie A. Borden will share the story of her life in Fall River, her memories of the trial and how she learned to live in a world which had drastically changed for her, once she was acquitted of the murders

Depots of the Virginia & Truckee Railroad. The Virginia & Truckee Railroad was born from the riches and needs of the mining industry of the Comstock Lode. Beginning with its first spike driven on September 28, 1869, the railroad carried the ore and riches of Virginia City to Reno. On the return trip, lumber and supplies traveled up to build Virginia City and its mines. The intermediate stop, Carson City, provided service to our mint and state capital. At Reno, it’s connection to the Central Pacific Railroad provided access to our nation’s first transcontinental route.

Passenger and freight depots were integral to this process. We’ll step out on the platforms and inside the depots of Virginia City, Gold Hill, Mound House, Carson City and Reno. Grab your ticket to ride and see the V&T’s depots and wayside structures as we steam down the rails the served Nevada’s Comstock Lode.
