Gardnerville Travel & Tourism

Welcome to Gardnerville, Nevada

Gardnerville is located in the center of Nevada’s Carson Valley, recognized as the most agriculturally productive region in the state. The valley’s pioneering farming history, as well as reflections by local artists can be experienced year-round at the Carson Valley Museum and Cultural Center. As a result of Gardnerville’s farming surplus in the late 18th century and early 19th century, many individual residents were able to establish their farm houses and businesses in eclectic architectural styles. Although many of these remaining structures are now privately owned and house local professional offices, such as the C.F.W. Dangberg House and the Ypparguirre-Marquat Residences, public tours are welcome. The best way to experience Gardnerville’s more than fifteen nationally registered historic sites is through participation in the self-guided Historic Walking Tour. Area recreational and sightseeing opportunities are easily accessible by paved trails within five community parks or on the Martin Slough Nature Trail.
