After acquiring land from John M. Gardner, Gilman moved the house to the new site. The Kent House became the Gardnerville Hotel – and the town of Gardnerville was born. Although the old hotel no longer stands, the community spirit lives on; we don’t know about the ghost. Basque dining, sports parks, visitor friendly farms, and a new community center make the town a vibrant destination.  GenoaOriginally established in 1851, the first recorded settlement in Nevada was named Mormon Station, then renamed Genoa in 1855 after the birthplace of Christopher Columbus. Genoa was the eastern terminus of frontier mailman John “Snowshoe” Thompson’s route from 1856-1876. Thompson was the first man to ski the Tahoe backcountry and the same peaks that make up our world-famous ski resorts; Heavenly Mountain Resort, Sierra-at-Tahoe, and Kirkwood Mountain Resort. Explore the town’s rich past or get acquainted with a growing culture of food, arts and entertainment.  MindenNamed after Minden, Germany, near the birthplace of H.F. Dangberg, Sr., H.F. Dangberg, Jr. had a vision of community and culture. From 1906-1940 the Minden Inn was frequented by Hollywood stars including Clark Gable and Jean Harlow. Minden Park and Esmerelda Avenue are still the center of this Carson Valley town. You can tour the Dangberg Home Ranch and get a taste of the life of an early ranching family. An upcoming distillery, art center, casino gaming and shopping are just a few of the activities on hand to complement any stay. Topaz LakeJedediah Smith was the first non-native to traverse the Sierra Nevada, and in spring of 1827 his route took him southeast through Monitor Pass and east past Topaz Lake. Now a man-made reservoir, Topaz Lake was a remnant of a prehistoric sea. Located just south of Gardnerville, Topaz Lake Park is a water sports destination. Known for fishing, water skiing, wakeboarding and camping, Topaz Lake is a stunning oasis where views abound between the arid Great Basin to the east and the towering Sierra Nevada to the west.   Social MediaShare the Best Moments #WhyCV carsonvalleynevada View Aug 6 Open carsonvalleynevada View Aug 5 Open carsonvalleynevada View Aug 4 Open carsonvalleynevada View Aug 3 Open Load More What’s a Place Without its People?CARSON VALLEY’S people are the welcoming kind and possess a love for celebration and an appreciation for nature.Meet the legends » Ray and Toni Van WinkleFull-time excavators, part-time escape artists.
