See Mark Twain locations in Nevada! Lake Tahoe, Carson City, and... Reno? Plus Shoetree Brewing!

Lets' visit some historic old haunts with the ghost of Mark Twain! Many history-minded people know that Missouri native Samuel L. Clemens was in Northern Nevada, but lets explore the backstory of why he came and what he saw and experienced here. We'll also uncover the mysteries of Nevada's Mark Twain cabins. There's also one in the gold country of California, but we had/have two! We'll end our visit to Carson City with a visit to Shoetree Brewing - purveyors of fine craft beer.

It's The Reno You Know! My name is Steve and I've lived in Reno, Nevada for 37 years (as an adult!). I've had a lifelong interest in historical topics, and spend much time exploring and researching this wonderful area of Northern Nevada. I started this channel to share some of what I've learned. I produced a full-length documentary film on the history of Harolds Club casino in 2015.

Perhaps you're thinking of moving to Reno and are looking for background on the area or reasons to move, or you're already a resident and this content might help give you a sense of place. I shall endeavor to cater to both groups!

I'm also a craft beer enthusiast, and thought I'd talk about some of that brewery scene here as well. I started homebrewing 31 years ago in 1992, and earned the Certified Cicerone designation in 2015 - this is a sommelier-esque program for beer people.

Please subscribe, share and come along with me on this journey! Thanks and cheers!
