Home Ranch for the Holidays, a celebration of the season that features an antique toy exhibit alongside clothing, letters, photographs, and other unique artifacts from Nevada’s past, returns to Dangberg Home Ranch Historic Park in December.
An open house weekend launches the event on December 6th-8th, from 10:00am-3:00pm each day. The public can visit at any time during those hours, with volunteer docents on hand to share the history of the family, house, and artifacts. The event includes expanded access into the various rooms of Douglas County’s only historic house museum.
Then, from December 11th-22nd, the exhibit will be open by appointment, when visitors will be led on a special guided tour of the ranch house. These tours last approximately 1 hour, with a fee of $10 for non-member adults, and free Friends of Dangberg members and youths aged 8-16. Children younger than 8 are welcome at the weekend open house, but not the guided tours. Tour reservations can be made by calling 775-783-9417; group sizes are limited to eight people.
A Christmas tree featuring the Dangberg family’s ornaments, as well as displays of vintage Christmas cards, elegant winter coats, fine china, and additional items from the Home Ranch artifact collection will help celebrate the season.
