Time to Rebuild Dayton’s Historic 1881 Carson & Colorado Railroad Depot

The burning of the historic 1881 Carson & Colorado Railroad Depot June 17, 2020 was a sad day for Dayton, Nevada. The Historical Society of Dayton Valley is raising money to help rebuild the Depot and fulfilling the dream of making the corner lot the Gateway to the Comstock. Any donation will help make an impact. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to us and the history of Dayton and Nevada. To donate, please CLICK HERE.

Watch the progress on the depot in the below videos!  Dave Bates Construction is doing an exemplary job and really keeping an eye on all the little details.
