Churchill County Museum Announces Fall Lecture Series

The Churchill County Museum will host its Fall Lecture Series beginning Saturday, Sept. 27. This year’s theme, “Agriculture: Rooted in Tradition, Growing With a Purpose,” highlights the community’s deep connection to farming and ranching.

The lectures will be held on Saturdays at noon, a new time organizers hope will make the series more accessible to residents.

Speakers and topics include the history of the deBraga Ranch in Stillwater, a Bureau of Reclamation archaeologist discussing the Newlands Project, a local beekeeper from Stony Bee’s Honey, and members of Fallon’s 4-H clubs.

Museum officials said the series is designed to explore both the historic roots of agriculture in Churchill County and the innovations shaping its future.

The public is invited to attend. The programs are free, and museum staff said they encourage participation from community members of all ages, whether they are longtime farmers, students, or simply interested in learning more about agriculture’s role in the county.

• Sept. 27 – deBraga Ranch
• Oct. 4 – The Newlands Project
• Oct. 11 – Stony Bee’s Honey
• Oct. 18 – 4-H Youth

Lectures will be held at noon at the Churchill County Museum, 1050 S. Maine Street, Fallon.
