World Letter Writing Day

Long before emails, text messaging, and social media, family, friends and strangers communicated through letter writing. Eliza Buckland was a prolific letter writer. Her letters from the mid-1800s provide a glimpse into the day-to-day lives of the Buckland family and early Nevada history.

In the spirit of Eliza Buckland, join us at Buckland Station for World Letter Writing Day. We will provide pens and pencils, paper, envelopes and stamps. Be sure to bring mailing addresses for your intended recipients. Drop in anytime between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.   

WHEN: Monday, September 1, 2025, 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

WHERE: Historic Buckland Station. Buckland Station is located approximately 9 miles south of the Highway 95A/Highway 50 intersection on Highway 95A.    

WHO: The program is open to the public and hosted by Fort Churchill State Historic Park.
