MAINE ST. WALKING TOUR

 

The renovation of Maine Street has created a renewed interest in downtown Fallon as a social destination and shopping district. Maine Street is also a window into Fallon's past. Now, you can stroll along Maine St. with a historic walking tour map designed by the staff at the Churchill County Museum and Archives.

The map is included in a detailed brochure filled with pictures and information about some of Fallon's oldest buildings and founding families that built them. The tour is designed to guide you along the street, one side at a time.

There are over forty-two locations described in the brochure from 1050 S. Maine St. to 346 N. Maine St. There are 25 locations within an easy stroll in downtown between Williams Ave. and Stillwater.

Divided into "West side" and "East side" attractions, the Maine St. historic walking tour offers a complete look into the development of commerce, government, entertainment and more as Fallon grew at the turn of the century from a dusty crossroads between St. Clair and Stillwater to the "Oasis of Nevada."

Brochures can be picked up at the museum at 1050 S. Maine St., the Fallon Convention & Visitors Center, 100 Campus Way, the Greater Fallon Area Chamber of Commerce, 85 N. Taylor Street, or City Hall, 55 W. Williams Ave. You can also visit the museum's website for more information: www.ccmuseum.org.
