Churchill County Museum — Attraction in Fallon

In Fallon for a visit or just passing through. Either way treat yourself to a nice meal at one of the local restaurants and as your digest why not stroll about the local museum. I have lived in Fallon for several years and I will promise that this place will not disappoint. Churchill county is part of the high desert of western Nevada. Sure it is lush and green now but it was not always so. Pioneers of bygone years have spent their lives working, living, loving and dying to make it so. That vast expanse of sand and sage that you have just easily sped through in your air conditioned auto to get here took them months to traverse in wagons, on horseback, or walking.

One of the best things about the museum is that it's free to just go in and take a tour of everything and they have some interactive exhibits there including a really cool Covid-19 exhibit.
