Mormon Station State Historic Park, Historical state park in Genoa, US.

Mormon Station State Historic Park is a state park in downtown Genoa, Nevada, built around a replica of the 1851 trading post stockade that burned in 1910. The reconstruction, begun in 1947 with $5,000 from the Nevada Legislature, houses artifacts and exhibits on the station's history. A tablet erected by the Sons of Utah Pioneers in 1991 and Nevada Historical Marker 12 stand on the grounds.

Mormon Station was settled by Mormon pioneers and became the first permanent nonnative settlement in Nevada. It served as a respite for travelers on the Carson Route of the California Trail. In June 1910 a fire swept through Genoa and destroyed what remained of the trading post; reconstruction of the structures began in 1947 with $5,000 from the Nevada Legislature.

The exhibits showcase items and documents from pioneer families, revealing how people lived and worked during westward expansion. Visitors can see everyday objects that tell the story of settlers building a community in harsh conditions.

The park sits in downtown Genoa, and its centerpiece is a replica of the 1851 trading post stockade, rebuilt after the 1910 fire. Exhibits and artifacts about the station's history are housed inside that reconstruction. The site is marked by Nevada Historical Marker 12 and a tablet erected by the Sons of Utah Pioneers in 1991.

The replica stockade stands as a reconstruction, not the original: the 1851 trading post burned in a June 1910 fire that swept Genoa. Rebuilding began in 1947 with $5,000 from the Nevada Legislature, and management passed to the Division of State Parks in 1957. A tablet placed by the Sons of Utah Pioneers in 1991 and Nevada Historical Marker 12 mark the site.
