America turns 250.

Let's go find the candles.

Looking for a history lesson that doesn't feel like homework? You've found it. At 250history.com, the Semiquincentennial Series brings each state's distinctive landmarks to center stage to tell their fast and fun story.

We've wandered through big cities, tiny towns, muddy trails, and neon-lit highways-uncovering 5,000 historic gems along the way.

The Semiquincentennial isn't just a mouthful-it's a reminder that history is alive, sometimes weird, and always waiting to be rediscovered.

Whether you're traveling by road, by printed page, or by imagination; whether you are a lifelong native or visiting for a week, we invite you to explore 100 Nevada landmarks that illuminate the one-of-a-kind story of the Silver State.

Pony Express... Little Joe Cartwright... ichthyosaurs... iron horses...

USO... UFO... mimetic architecture... Bill the Lion and Leo the Lion...

the CCC... Pyramid Lake War... square-set timbering... the golden age

of motoring... irrigation canals... early aviation... Mark Twain... beehive

kilns... fire towers... reclamation projects... cathouses... shrimp cock-

tail... divorces...weddings... public hangings... bloody handprints...

Washoe seeress... Sutro Tunnel... Taj Mahal of Tenpins... the Loneliest

Road in America... Googie architecture... This book will have you tell-

ing stories like a native in no time.

The photos and stories collected here are a fast and fun way to learn

the explanations behind the quirks, the traditions and the secrets that

make Nevada uniquely Nevada. What town was known as ""The Pitts-

burgh of the West?"" Solved. What was the Silver State's first national

monument? A mystery no more. What Nevada golf course was de-

signed by America's first woman golf pro? Identified. How did Nevada

contribute to the Civil War? Revealed. What goes on in Area 51? No

one knows.

It is a story only Nevada can call its own. A story told in 100 landmarks. Almost all the selections within are open to the public, or at least visible from public spaces. So, fire up the GPS and see the story of the Silver State standing in plain sight on Nevada streets!
