Nevada Heritage

Nevada’s heritage is written in our land. We’re committed to preserving it.

They say those who don’t study history are doomed to repeat it. Similarly, those who don’t preserve it are doomed to lose it. Nevada’s ranching and farming heritage are at risk of disappearing without committed efforts to save our historic ranchlands and farm buildings.

Since its founding in 1998, Nevada Land Trust (NLT) has worked to preserve historic places and spaces.
