Original Fine Art Photography by Donna Kennedy...
Autumn at it's peak on a country back road in Gardnerville, Nevada..
Gardnerville Nevada holds down the southern half of Carson Valley’s bustling business corridor alongside the adjoining town of Minden. Gardnerville still exudes the historic charm that has drawn countless people to the region since the mid-1800s. Neighboring Genoa at the foot of the Sierra Nevada may have been the first settlement in the state, but it was Gardnerville that became Nevada’s first hub for agriculture and mining supplies during the late 19th century. This new town became an important re-supply route and feed stop for travelers headed through the valley on their way to the mining camp at Bodie and others in the Esmeralda Mining District, and played a critical role in feeding the exploding silver mining scene in Virginia City’s Comstock Lode era. Gardnerville also was home to many early Basque settlers whose presence remains to this day.
