America has a pretty big birthday this year, 250 years, and Washoe County is proud to kick off our America250/Nevada podcast series from a place steeped in our own local history: the Historic Washoe County Courthouse. During this episode of Washoe Life, we explore how history will be honored and preserved at the Courthouse this year from District Judge Barry Breslow to curator and first-time author Tammy Buzick’s deep dive into the legacy of the Bowers family and the Comstock era. Recorded inside this iconic courthouse, these conversations connect Nevada’s past to its present as we begin a yearlong celebration of America’s story, told through a Washoe County lens.
