The public is invited to attend the Programs on the Porch historical presentation series scheduled from 7 to 8 p.m. Fridays from May 21 through June 18.

  • May 21, Nevada women’s history
  • May 28, Washoe Tribe history
  • June 4, President Theodore Roosevelt
  • June 11, Mountain Man Bob Burke
  • June 18, Cowboy entertainer Tex Weir

Admission is free but donations will be accepted. Those attending are asked to bring low-back chairs or blankets on which to sit.

Venues will be subject to COVID-19 restrictions in place at the time.

Programs on the Porch began in 2012 but took a hiatus last year due to the pandemic.

Bowers Mansion is located at 4005 Old U.S. 395 in Washoe Valley. Call 775-849-1825 for more information.
