Marzen House Museum — Attraction in Lovelock

The Marzen House museum was closed during my early Sunday morning visit. There are a few historic mining exhibits viewable outdoors in the museum parking area.

This space was amazing and they have done some amazing things preserving history here beyond the house there is a Assayers office that's been really restored and another building with more artifacts, old mine display and minerals too much to tell you. Bonnie Penny and David were amazing and even though they weren't open they were working and let us look around. They are planning on finishing up displays and having a reopening in April 2022. But I'm sure if your in the area and they are around they might give you a personalized tour just like we got!! Thanks again we really enjoyed meeting you all on our way through town to explore...
