Generations of memories abound in the recently released publication, “Churchill County Memories.”
During the autumn, many residents brought in their photographs to be included in this edition of reflections of life in Churchill County from the early 1940s to the present time.
The Lahontan ValleyNews-Fallon Eagle Standard also included many of its recent color photographs, and the museum — under the direction of Jane Pipelow — contributed many black and white photos from previous decades.
The LVN and the Churchill County Museum have captured many generations of friends and neighbors through a looking glass. This book features several hundred photographs showing how the Churchill County community changed from the outset of World War II to the construction of one of the nation's most prestigious military installations to the present day.
Through the efforts of the Churchill County Museum and the LVN-FES, this book spans almost 60 years by capturing the images of one of Nevada's best-kept secrets.
As told in the foreword by Editor Steve Ranson, “Almost 20 years ago, a friend traveling through Fallon remarked about the city's cleanliness and quaintness and said if he had to live his life all over again, this is where he would raise his family.
“We couldn't agree with him more. This is an area that prides itself on families and community activities as evidenced by the numerous parks and athletic endeavors afforded to people of all ages. And Fallon is home of the mighty Greenwave from Churchill County High School.
“This sense of community pride intensified in 2008 when Fallon celebrated its centennial as an incorporated city in Nevada.
“That's why we think you will enjoy this second book on Churchill County. This edition reflects what life was like from the 1940s to now and the changes Churchill County has endured.”
Published by Pediment Publishing, this book is available from the Lahontan Valley News and Churchill County Museum for $39.95 plus tax.
