When I read that we could "Step Back in Time at the Foreman-Roberts House Museum" in Carson City, we knew that opportunity would be the ideal way to begin our Sunday.

Annie and James Roberts had seven children and raised those that survived in this home. Thurman Roberts, the youngest, lived here with his wife, Hattie Hale Roberts (Hattie was a direct descendent of American patriot Nathan Hale). When Thurman died, the house was already in disrepair, and getting much worse. Thurman had willed the property to the state for the "Children of the State", and Nevada later gave it to Carson City. The city was anxious to clear the house and use the land for a park. Through great effort, the home was saved and we were there to witness its history and grandness. What fun.
