Welcome to Winnemucca!
Nevadans are proud of their wide-open spaces, beautiful mountain and valley vistas and fascinating history, but sharing these things with visitors makes us even prouder.
Here in Winnemucca, you’ll find a little bit of everything, from off-road adventures and western cowboy fun to unique museums and shopping. Hiking and biking trails snake through the surrounding mountains and the untamed terrain is perfect for an ATV excursion or camping trip. I highly recommend dinner at one of the local eateries, including fine family-style Basque restaurants, where visitors
can share in a meal experience that is centuries old.
And of course, what would a visit to
Nevada be without a dance with Lady Luck?
The friendly atmosphere of Winnemucca’s casinos invites begin-ner and experienced gamers alike to sit down and enjoy a casual evening of slots, table games or poker. Feel free to ask the dealer for help and learn a new game or try your luck at your favor-ite slot machine. You’ll find a friendly face around every corner as you enjoy a night of Nevada-style gaming.
I hope you enjoy your visit and take full advantage of everything Winnemuc-ca and Northern Nevada have to offer.
Best regards,Mark Hutchison
Lieutenant Governor
The heart of Humboldt County and the hub of the West
Mark Hutchison
The City of Winnemucca was named after the famous Northern Paiute Indian Chief Old Winne mucca by one of President Lincoln’s map makers.
When Winnemucca was young, before the discovery of gold in California, several white prospectors came into the area of the Humboldt Sink from the Boise River country.
When they first saw Winnemucca, he was wearing only one moccasin and his other foot was bare. In the Paiute dialect, “mucha” means mocca sin and the white men referred to him as “wannamuccha” — or “one moccasin.” This name, part English and
part Paiute, pleased Winnemucca, and he adopted it as his new name, being referred to thereafter as Wannemuccha by his tribe.
The chief spent a lot of time in the region of
the town of Winne mucca, attending “fandangoes,” ritual gatherings of several hun dred people.
Chief Winnemucca and his daughter, Sarah, traveled across the country, bringing attention to the plight of their people. In 1880, they presented their case in Washington, D.C. A statue of Sarah Winnemucca is housed in the National Statuary Hall Collection in the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C.
As a spokesperson for her people, Sarah gave over 300 speeches to win support for them, and she met with President Rutherford B. Hayes and Secretary of the Interior Carl Schurz in 1880. Her 1883 autobiography, “Life among the Piutes: Their Wrongs and Claims,” was the first book written by a Native American woman.
Winnemucca is the only town in Nevada named after a Native American
Chief Winnemucca

Winnemucca has long been a stopover for weary travelers winding their way through the treacherous routes of the Great Basin. Today, due to its central location between San Francisco and Salt Lake City, it continues to offer a long list of lodging, dining and entertainment amenities that lure travelers off the interstate.
Venture through the antique wooden doors of the newlyimproved Humboldt County Visitors Center and you will find a wealth of
Winnemucca Visitors Center combines past and present
William Humphreys’ Big Game Collection is a display of 53 large animals collected over many years.
Buckaroo Hall of Fame
The displays at the Buckaroo Hall of Fame trace the rich history of the cowboy life in northern Nevada.
The Buckaroo Hall of Fame is located inside the East Hall of the Winnemucca Convention Center. The display pays tribute to the cowboys who helped tame the wilds of Nevada, and includes memorabilia from several area cowpokes. Each year, a new addition is added to the fold, the display yields new insight into the lives of those who worked with cattle and horses so many decades ago.
The welldisplayed array of artifacts gives visitors a glimpse into the hard life that many of these range riders faced. Worn saddles, boots and spurs attest to the many hours of labor they’ve seen, while photographs of weathered faces proud of a life welllived gaze back at visitors. The Buckaroo Hall of Fame is open 8 a.m. 4 p.m. Monday Saturday (Sundays seasonal). The exhibit is free and open to the public.

PROUD TRADITIONS Most of the people who make their home in
Winnemucca have their livelihood tied to the land in one form or another.
Agricultural pursuits and mining for gold, silver and other precious minerals are what bring many families to our small city, and love of the rolling hills and deserts are what make many of them stay.
Winnemucca is located 167 miles east of Reno and 265 miles southwest of Boise, Idaho.
The city covers 5.4 square miles and has about 7,500 people. The city of Winnemucca is the seat of
Humboldt County, and, since much of the county is rural, nearly half of the population lives inside the city limits.
Winnemucca sits at a geographic crossroads — Interstate 80 takes travellers east and west through Winnemucca while U.S. Highway 95 brings drivers from Oregon and Idaho into the middle of town. Jungo Road takes adventurous drivers into the heart of the Black Rock Desert. Finally, a rail line with daily Amtrak service runs parallel to many of the town’s major streets.
The city is also a cultural crossroads. There is a large Basque population who speak their native language, Euskera, and practice the customs of their homeland on a daily basis. In addition, there is a large and active Hispanic population in the community. The Cinco de Mayo celebration is not to be missed!
Finally, northern Nevada is enriched by the presence of several Native American tribes, one of which, the Western Band of the Western Shoshone, have a colony within the city limits of Winnemucca.

Ever wonder what became of old Winnemucca, the town where brave pioneers sought their fortune and weary cowboys hitched up their steeds after a day on the range?
Those days live on at the Humboldt Museum, along with the Great Depression, the Roaring Twenties, and even the Ice Age. The museum offers a compendium of area history through its many artifacts. Visitors can see a turnofthecentury parlor, early model horseless carriages, a set of bones from a local mammoth, and much more.
The collection encompasses all of Humboldt County, with artifacts from Paradise Valley, rural areas, and Winnemucca.
The museum itself is a piece of old Winnemucca. Built in 1907, it was a downtown church — until it was picked up and hauled across the Humboldt River to its present site, at Jungo Road and Maple Avenue.
A second, larger building was added on when the museum’s collection outgrew its humble home. Also on the museum grounds is the Cumley Richardson House, currently undergoing restoration, a historic store and the newest addition — a 1950’s bus that formerly belonged to the Humboldt Hotel.
Inside the museum, every artifact at the museum comes with two supplements — a story, and someone who loves telling it. The staff of the museum will gladly take you back in time with an introduction to the treasures of Humboldt County’s history.
The Humboldt Museum is located adjacent to Pioneer Park at 175 Museum Lane, and is open Wednesday Friday 9 a.m. 4 p.m.; Saturdays 10 a.m. 4 p.m.; closed Sunday Tuesday. Admission is free, and donations are accepted. For more information visit them online at www.humboldtmuseum.org.
A look at our past —
The Humboldt Museum can truly boast a “mammoth” display! Castings of bones found in the Black Rock Desert now have a permanent home on the second story of the museum. Visitors can take a step back in time and imagine a landscape populated by these enormous beasts.
———Below, these wooden indians were originally used by local casinos for promotions. Now they’re indoors at the museum, and restora-tions are planned.
The Humboldt Museum is located adjacent to Pioneer Park on the northwest side of Winnemucca.
It’s a great place to visit to learn more about the history of
Winnemucca and Humboldt County.

Though a first glance may not reveal it, Winnemucca has more than its fair share of old and interesting architecture.
From the 137-year-old Winnemucca Hotel to the mere-ly 77-year-old Humboldt County Courthouse, the early residents of the city took pride in the quality and style of their homes, businesses and public buildings.
Four Winnemucca build-ings — Winnemucca Gram-mar School, the W.C. Records House, the old Winnemucca Post Office and the Humboldt County Courthouse — are on the National Register of Historic Places.
Here is a quick introduction to some notable representatives of Winnemucca’s living architec-tural history.
1. The Winnemucca Hotel The Winnemucca Hotel, 95
Bridge Street. This hotel is the city’s oldest building, though the
exact date of its construction is difficult to substantiate. It is believed that the building was constructed in 1863 by Louis
Lay and Co.
2. Humboldt River BridgeSpanning the river at the north foot of Bridge Street, the bridge
was constructed in 1910.
3. Lamb HouseThe Lamb House, located at 108 Melarkey Street was built
in 1914 by young Winnemucca architect Frederick DeLong-
champs for Graham and Nellie Lamb.
4. W.C. Record House, W.C. Record House is located at 146 West Second Street. This house was built in 1874 and is one of the city’s oldest struc-tures. It features gingerbread
gables and other Gothic Victo-rian touches.
5. The Gables Guest HouseThe Gables Guest House, 124 Lay Street. This structure, built in 1903, was originally called the Winnemucca Sanatorium
and was the town’s first medi-cal building built specifically for
that purpose.
6. Brown HouseBrown House, 322 W. Second Street. This is the former home of Merwyn Brown, whose dis-tinguished career included 18 years as a Humboldt County
District Attorney and 21 years as Sixth Judicial District Court
judge. The bungalow-style home was built in 1913.
7. Reinhart HouseReinhart House, 343 West Sec-ond Street. This home may be the most architecturally inter-esting home in Winnemucca. It was built in 1909 by Guy Sisson
and is a fine example of the Greek revival style.
8. St. Paul’s Catholic ChurchSt. Paul’s Catholic Church,
corner of Fourth and Melarkey Streets. This church was built on the site of an 1883 mission and is the only example of Spanish
Colonial-style ecclesiastical archi-tecture in the area.
9. Winnemucca City HallWinnemucca City Hall, 90 W.
Fourth Street. This building served as Winnemucca’s Post Office for 70 years (1921 to
1991), and has been extensively renovated for use by the City.
10. First National BankFirst National Bank, 352 Bridge
Street. This building is best known as George Nixon’s
First National Bank, which was reputed to have been held up by fabled outlaw Butch Cassidy and
his gang on Sept. 9, 1900.
11. Winnemucca MercantileWinnemucca Mercantile, 355
Bridge Street. This building was constructed in 1898 by the
Browns, the First Family of hard-ware and home furnishings in Winnemucca’s early history.
12. Humboldt County Courthouse
Humboldt County Courthouse, Fifth and Bridge Streets. When
the old courthouse burned down in 1919, this building was con-
structed, and opened with much fanfare in 1921.
14. Kluncy’s ApartmentsKluncy’s Apartments, 583 Lay Street. Finished in 1912, this
home was built by Bert Kluncy, a native of Germany who was one of the county’s most prosperous
ranchers.
15. The Martin Hotel The Martin Hotel corner of Rail-road and Melarkey Streets. This rooming house and restaurant was built in 1913-14 and was constructed to serve the heavy
railroad traffic of the day.
16. Shone House Shone House, 602 Bridge Street. Built in 1901 by hotelier Thomas Shone, the structure was nearly destroyed by fire in 1980, but today has been restored and serves as a boarding house.
For more information about the Winnemucca Walking Tour, stop by the Humboldt County Visitors Center, 30 W. Winnemucca Blvd. and pick up your free brochure and map!
13. Winnemucca Grammar SchoolWinnemucca Grammar School, 522 Lay Street. With its pleasant red
brick and white trim exterior, the grammar school is arguably the most impressive in the city. Built in 1927-28 at a cost of $100,000,
the school has been going strong ever since.

The northern Nevada back country offers freedom to anyone who enjoys being able to pitch a tent, hike or bike the hills, fish the streams, pursue quality big game or pit themselves against the rugged terrain that supports the ultimate upland game bird, the chukar.
Springtime arrays of wild flowers will delight photographers, and the scenic vistas they capture on film will leave a lasting memory of the area’s beauty.
Beauty and nature are as near to town as Water Canyon, just a few minutes’ drive into the Sonoma Mountains. This is a great place to picnic, hike or mountain bike.
A longer excursion, but every bit worth the drive, is a ride north to Hinkey Summit in the gorgeous Santa Rosas.
From May to midJune, the vast panoramas of Hinkey Summit are aweinspiring.
On your way back to Winnemucca, stop and visit the picturesque town of Paradise Valley. Just a short visit and you’ll know why it got its name.
Like to fish? Humboldt County boasts some amazing high country trout water. Check out our reservoirs, streams and creeks. If you’re the exploring type, there are numerous old mining ghost towns hidden, almost gone, throughout the area.
If you like the outdoors you’ll never be bored in and around Winnemucca!

No matter what type of twowheeled adventure you’re looking for, the hills and deserts around Winnemucca offer exciting terrain. Nearly every weekend during the warmer months, riders take to the trails to eat a little Nevada dust.
The “Bloody Shins Trail,” a 12mile trail that begins right on the edge of town, is a good place to start. This rolling single track course is divided into beginner and expert grades (the last five miles range from intermediate to expert level) and offers endless views of the distant mountain ranges.
In addition to the Bloody Shins Trail, the Sonoma Mountains (the range to the East of Winnemucca) offers old pack routes, cow trails, and Jeep trails crisscrossing the sagebrush strewn flanks of the hills.
The Sonomas also excel for back country excursions, whether accessed by bicycle, motorbike, horseback or hiking. Several of the deep Vshaped canyons offer springfed creeks and pleasant camping experiences.
The “Bloody Shins Trail,” a single-track course locat-ed east of Winnemucca, offers beginning riders a 12-mile course. The trail is fairly easy and climbs in elevation from 4,570 feet to 4,820. Intermediate rid-ers are invited to try their skills on the 12-mile track, a slightly more difficult course which rises 1,000 feet. Both courses are open March - November.

Winnemucca: Home to the Elusive Chukar
If you love bird hunting, then you should know this area is synonymous with good upland game hunting. Northern Nevada claims legendary status as the “Chukar Capital of the Country.” There are a few reasons why. Long seasons and liberal bag limits make for more hunter recreation days than any other upland game bird. Plus, only the Great Basin can duplicate the original chukar habitat of India, Pakistan and Afghanistan, the birds’ native countries. Only here will you find the steep, rugged canyons with talus slopes and rocky outcrops that provide a perfect hideout for the birds. That makes a difference when it’s nearing sunset and you’ve already bagged your limit of six. That’s not to say the experience isn’t a humbling one. Hawkins says, “The chukar has bagged more hunters than hunters have bagged chukar. Always remember that.” Still, there will always be a next time.
Champion fish, record game and premium fishing Big Game Challenges Hunters
Those who enjoy the sport of big game hunting will want to give Humboldt County a try!
From the steep hillsides of the Santa Rosa Mountains to the wide deserts found throughout the area, Humboldt County seems to be prime territory for big game animals.
The area is home to large herds of antelope and mule deer, as well as mountain goats and bighorn sheep, and their elusive predator, the mountain lion.
Hunters from outside of Nevada should visit the Nevada Department of Wildlife Web site, www.ndow.org for more information about obtaining an outofstate hunting tag, or get in touch with one of the area’s many hunting guides, who can help with every detail.
Visit www.ndow.org for more information about hunting in Humboldt County and northern Nevada.

Not everyone prefers to travel within the confines of a car — and astride a horse isn’t always the best way to spend a day in the desert. Sometimes, you just gotta take the bikes or ATVs out and eat some dust.
Humboldt County has hundreds of miles of back roads that are ready for you to ride. Most motorcycle enthusiasts begin their desert trek accessing trails behind Winnemucca Mountain
(the big hill west of town with the “W” on it), or by driving their trucks and trailers up Water Canyon Road and parking at one of the campgrounds there.
A second good jumpingoff point for motorcycles and ATVs is Sand Pass Road, located just 11 miles north of Winnemucca on U.S. Highway 95.
This road travels almost due east into the
desert, and affords some awesome views, as well as a terrific ride!
The Sonomas are excellent for backcountry excursions, and are frequently accessed by riders both on motorcycle and mountain bike. Other options for riding include the Santa Rosa Mountains, above Paradise Valley; the Sand Dunes and Sand Pass Road north of Winnemucca and the Jungo area west of Winnemucca.

The Virgin Valley Campground in northern Humboldt County features a hot springs soaking area, naturally-heated showers, many campsites with shade, plus fishing at Dufurrena Ponds and Big Springs Reservoir. The area is frequented by campers from around the world as two dig-your-own opal mines are close by.
Nevada adopted an official precious and semiprecious gemstone on May 27, 1987.
Considered one of the most beautiful of Nevada’s gemstones, Virgin Valley black fire opal was designated the precious gemstone. Northern Nevada’s Virgin Valley is the only place in North America where black fire opal is found in any significant quantity.
If you’re interested in trying your hand at digging black fire opals yourself, the Royal Peacock Opal Mine, the Bonanza Opal Mine and the Virgin Valley Opal Mine, all located in northern Humboldt County each offer digging for a fee and are open seasonally.
Above and left, the opals pulled from the Royal Peacock mine vary in color from black with flecks of iridescent color to green-hued opalized wood.

The heart of Cowboy Country is Winnemucca, so it’s only to be expected that much of the year’s entertainment is dedicated to the interplay of man, horse and cow. Winnemucca does it up big, hosting some of the best rodeos in the west!
Great riding, roping and steer wrestling talent is always on hand to take on equally talented bucking livestock at the annual TriCounty Fair and Concert .
Equine events continue throughout the year as Humboldt County hosts competitions for working cowboys, high school rodeo, barrel racers, and more big roping events than you can shake a stick at.
There’s always a rodeo in the heart of Cowboy Country!

The American cowboy has been a worldwide icon since the early 1800s and the values, traditions, heritage and cowboy code are still alive and well, even today. There are ranch cowboys still out there calving, branding, gathering and doctoring, whether full time or part time.
Northern Nevada celebrates this tradition with three huge Ranch Hand Rodeos. The first, the Winnemucca Ranch Hand Rodeo weekend, features not only competitive events for ranch teams, but a cowdog trials, working cowhorse competition, as well as an invitational bull sale. The event also boasts one of the largest Western Trade Shows this area sees all year.
Over the Fourth of July weekend, the border town of McDermitt gets into the action with their own Ranch Hand Rodeo.
The Western States Ranch Rodeo Association has come together to promote and preserve the heritage of the cowboy tradition through sanctioned ranch rodeo events designed for the full and part time ranch cowboy.
The WSRRA is dedicated to providing a showcase for the full and part time cowboy to compete in WSRRA sanctioned ranch rodeo events — and all qualifying teams and individual event contestants gather to compete at the WSRRA finals in Winnemucca in late October. For information about the WSRRA, visit their official website, www.wsrra.org.

Gambling was first legalized in Nevada in 1931 to help reduce the impact of the Great Depression. As a point of interest, that fateful bill was introduced by freshman Assemblyman Phil Tobin of Winnemucca.
There are many types of wagering available in Humboldt County, and depending on your mood, skill and your pocketbook, your choices vary. Below is a rundown of several different types of games available around the area, and how to get the most out of each.
Slot machines Slots are usually the first thing visible when one enters
a casino, and they’re typically a gamer’s introduction to the gambling world. Slot machines, with their blinking lights, themes and fast pace, can be among the most excit
Gaming is the Nevada tradition
ing of casino games — and they offer a chance to win huge sums of cash for a small investment. There are many different types of slot machines out there — from the traditional favorite single pay line slots to multiline video screen slots with bonus features and up to 20 pay lines.
Video poker Video poker is the modern rage. In a small amount of space inside a casino, players can
indulge in Jacks or Better, Deuces Wild, Jokers Wild and bonus and progressive poker action. This is a show most casinos would be hardpressed to put on live, so the new computer video poker machines are a winner for both the house and the gamer.
BlackjackThough Blackjack originated in France, the casinos of Nevada have made it their own.
Casinos each offer slight variations on the game, but the basics remain the same: The dealer places two cards before you, deals themselves one face up and one face down, and then you have a decision to make: draw or stand.
Keno Easy to play, keno is one of those games that gamblers either love or hate. Many grumble
that the game has a low payout percentage — the odds are that the house will make a good living off of keno players. Others love the game, because it is one of the few casino wagers that can yield big payoffs for a small investment. Pick the right numbers, and you could go home with your pockets stuffed with cash!
CrapsHow to play. Are you kidding? This article is far too short to teach you how to play craps.
This dicethrowing game is one of the most complex to learn, but also one of the most exciting. There are many different wagering options in a craps game, as well as many different outcomes depending on the roll of the dice.
Sports Betting A long time ‘til the outcome. With sports betting, time is on your side. As far as entertain
ment values go, your $10 never stretched so far! For the cost of your wager, you’ve earned two or three hours of sports entertainment, at the end of which you might take home the prize. Wagering on sporting events actively involves you in the game, since once your bet is placed you have some real interest in the outcome of the game.

June 20, 2015Koyote Cruiser’s Car ShowSpend a nice summer day gathered around motorized vehicles. All types of cars and trucks will be on display for your viewing enjoyment. Prizes and trophies will be awarded.
Celebrate the Basque
heritage with us!
The Basques are a people like no other. Their homeland is the Pyrenees Mountains between Spain and France, but their language and culture are unique.
More than a century ago, a handful of Basque sheep herders settled in Winnemucca and Humboldt County.
Thanks to those pioneers and their descendants, the rich Basque heritage is inextricably woven into our local culture.
There are two Basque restaurants in Winnemucca. Basque cuisine offers a combination of savory flavors,
Humboldt Sun Photo
all served with a hearty infusion of garlic. Paella (a rice dish with chicken, seafood, vegetables, and spices) and
chorizo (a spicy sausage) are as familiar to Winnemucca as burgers and fries.
For the true Basque dining experience, you can eat family style, sitting at a long table and sharing food and stories with other restaurant patrons.
This year, the Basque Festival will be held June 1314, 2015. It is a glorious celebration of all things Basque — the Irrintzi dancers don their colorful costumes, traditional Pyrenees music fills the air, and the people of Winnemucca — whether of Basque heritage or ‘Basque for a day’ — turn out for a lively parade.
