The Nevada State Museum, located in the state capital of Carson City, is the state's largest museum. Housed in the historic 1869 Carson City Mint building and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the museum is an icon and historical artifact. The museum serves the public through extensive collections, education, and exhibition programs related to Nevada's rich heritage of prehistory, history and natural history. The museum preserves collections at several locations, including the Marjorie Russell Clothing and Textile Research Center and the Indian Hills Curatorial Center. The museum also provides technical assistance for Nevada's non-state museums' public history support for a variety of reference and public program requests and fosters occasional archaeological and natural history fieldwork. America's largest exhibited Imperial Mammoth; Dat So La Lee Baskets; "U.S.S. Nevada" silver service; a replica walkthrough mine and ghost town; and Coin Press No. 1 are all on exhibit.
