This honors the heroism
and hardihood of the thousands of Chinese who played a major
role in the history of Nevada. From across the Pacific the Chinese
came to California during the Gold Rush of 1849 and on to the
mountains and deserts of this state where they built railroads,
cut timber and performed countless humble tasks. Sizeable Chinese communities grew up here, in Virginia City and other towns. Their contribution to the progress of the state in its first century will be forever remembered by all Nevadans. |

Notes on this marker: I love this marker! Possibly the most unique one in the state. Even if we missed it the first time. |
