Exploring Genoa - Nevada's first settlement

Jeff and Sarah take this episode of History Hunters to western Nevada where they explore the historical aspects of Genoa, the state's first settlement. The Mormons established a trading post on what was the Carson Trail into the virgin territory of California in the early 1850s.

This is in my backyard. I live in Carson City, you did a good job covering the town site. You would not believe how large the "Candy Dance" has gotten over the years, but it keeps the town afloat! Thanks Jeff!

[LarryLMS]

We have lived in Genoa for the past 20 years... it is a great place to live. Really enjoyed your video ... thanks for stopping by !

[TheFinnMcGovern]

I do love a Sunday morning history hunt.

[TheSpaghetti]

Genoa is still an island resort when crossing over from Bridgeport to Lake Tahoe. A beautiful little town.

[aliveat]

With all that is going on in the world, it is refreshing to watch video's such as your's.

[robertwatson]

Enthralling just looking at all that history in that town. What makes Chanel’s like this so good is the video quality these days. You can nearly reach out and touch things. Thanks heaps from Down Under.

[RayShobe]

My wife and I will be staying in Genoa in two weeks. Thanks for the great video. We just discovered your Youtube channel and look forward to watching all the videos eventually. Keep up the good workvand fascinating videos

[caroleannseaton]

Great film again. I always hit the thumbs up before you actually get started. You are always that good.

[scottlebaron]

I'm adding Genoa to my list of places I need to visit. First stop will be the "thirst parlor"

[lorenjackson]

Any town that had Snowshoe Thompson and Hank Monk living there at the same time had to be an interesting place. I'm looking forward to part 2. As always, thanks for sharing your adventures.

[TheRunningFatGuy]

I look forward to every Sunday. Thanks Jeff and Sarah!

[royston]

What a great way to relax for a little while by watching your vids Jeff and Sarah, thank you.

[Fusedboyz]

I love Genoa grew up in the area and I miss it a lot.

[vasquezthegreat]

Pony Express stopped here in my town in Pollock Pines, on Pony Express Trail, our main road

[dgtwo]

My mom lives there. I've been there many times and I love it.

[patriciawarner]

I lived in South Lake Tahoe and visited Genoa many times. I actually bought an 1880’s freight wagon from an antique dealer there. It was a chore hauling it over that mountain!

[daveforeman]

Thank you again, Sarah and Jeff, for doing these. I have family living in Carson City- transplanted from our original digs in the Modesto area.

[brianmcginty]

I visited Genoa years ago. Too many people don't know its key place in Nevada' history. Thank for this video.

[kesslermontijo]

lived there in late 70's, a real change from Santa Barbara, there since late 60's, (out of Army) grew up in Bakersfield, on farms, with many Basque friends. Love Genoa, for this reason, it was rural with Tahoe over the hill 24 hrs a day! Left in Fall of 78 when high interests killed construction. Tho have returned to Tahoe a number of times never went back to Genoa until 2018. As with everywhere things change, growth. Gardnerville/Minden with chain stores etc, almost unrecognizable, an old dream of somehow one day returning there to live out rest of life was shattered! Oh well, it's progress! Recall watching the reinactments of the Pony Express and watching the shadow rise on the Eastern slopes as the sun set. Also seeing on #395 just North a bit in a pasture the worlds's largest bull! it was huge!!! Too, the state's oldest bar is haunted! Thanx for the video! Truly enjoyed watching!
