Mason Valley/Yerington

Mason Valley/ Yerington

 

In centralized western Nevada, between the Singatse and Wassuk mountain ranges, lies Mason Valley.   With water available from the Walker River, the agriculture simply thrives. 

 

Located in the center of the valley is the town of Yerington.  Just a few hours drive from Reno brings you to this peaceful community.  Not only is it beautiful, but it was named as one of Nevada’s Safest Cities in 2019 by Safewise. 

 

A few of the things to visit in the area are:

• Lyon County Courthouse- Listed in the National Register of Historic Places and designed by Nevada architect Frederick DeLongchamps in Beaux Arts style and was built during 1911-1912.
• Lyon County Museum- run by a nonprofit association providing historical, cultural, and educational resources to the people of Yerington, Mason Valley, and Lyon County, Nevada. (http://www.lyoncountymuseum.com/ )
