Bowers Mansion: A Historic Gem in Nevada
Located between Reno and Carson City, Nevada, on Highway 395, Bowers Mansion is a stunning piece of history that shouldn’t be missed. Built in 1861 by Eilley and Sandy Bowers, the mansion was funded by the money Sandy made at his mine in Gold Hill on the Comstock Lode. The cost of the mansion and its furnishings totaled an impressive $400,000.
Today, Bowers Mansion serves as a museum, offering visitors a glimpse into the past and a chance to explore the lavish lifestyle of the Bowers family. The grounds of the mansion are equally impressive, featuring two swimming pools and picnic grounds for visitors to enjoy.
