Poster Project
The Lyon County Historical Society is developing a poster project using historical fun facts and unique places within the county’s boundaries. They are looking for any suggestions from the public on what to add to the poster.
Some suggestions have been first indoor plumbing, oldest working ranch, first house with electricity, first television set, last in-service outhouse, etc.
If anyone has recommendations and additions, or would like to help with this project, call the museum at 340-6310.
