Stories under the Stars (Campfire Program)

Back before people had seemingly unlimited amounts of technology and entertainment at their fingertips, a popular form of entertainment was to simply sit around and tell stories on warm summer evenings.  Inspired by this, Mormon Station will be holding a “Stories under the Stars” campfire program on Saturday, July 27.  Park staff will read many of the humorous and insightful stories from the oral history of Harry Hawkins, an early resident of Douglas County.  Park staff will also be providing s’mores for participants to enjoy.  Participants may bring other food items to cook on the fire if they would like.  Participants are also encouraged to share their own stories related to the history of Carson Valley.

Pre-registration is required for this program, and is limited to no more than 15 participants.  Those interested in participating in a “Stories under the Stars” program must pre-register by calling the park office at 775.782.2590.  This program will be limited to the first 15 registered people only.

WHEN: Saturday, July 27, from 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.

WHERE: Mormon Station State Historic Park is located 20 minutes south of Carson City via Hwy 395, about one hour south of Reno, and approximately 20 minutes from South Lake Tahoe via Hwy 207.
