September 25, 2024 by editor

Welcome to Alien Country. We can neither confirm nor deny the rumors of alien spacecraft, top secret technology, or little green dudes on the payroll. One thing we can promise? When you pilot your vessel along the wide-open roads through this otherworldly wilderness, with that warm wind in your hair (or antennae…), you’ll get why a ā€œvisitorā€ would cross the galaxy to enjoy this slice of the Silver State. Feast your curiosity on alien-themed everything; explore (in)famous Extraterrestrial Highway landmarks, like the Black Mailbox and Little A’Le’Inn; and get ready to meet some friendly humans who don’t need a phone to call these lovably odd locales home.

American Pickers to Film in Nevada

September 25, 2024 by editor

The American Pickers are excited to return to Nevada! They plan to film episodes of The History Channel hit television
series throughout your area in November 2024.

AMERICAN PICKERS is a documentary series that explores the fascinating world of antique ā€œpickingā€ on The History
Channel. The hit show follows skilled pickers in the business, as they hunt for America’s most valuable antiques.
They are always excited to find historically significant or rare items, in addition to unforgettable Characters and
their collections.

As they hit the back roads from coast to coast, the Pickers are on a mission to recycle and rescue forgotten relics.
Along the way, they want to meet characters with amazing stories and fun items. They hope to give historically
significant objects a new lease on life while learning a thing or two about America’s past along the way. The Pickers
have seen a lot of rusty gold over the years and are always looking to discover something they’ve never seen
before. They are ready to find extraordinary items and hear fascinating tales about them.

The American Pickers TV Show is looking for leads and would love to explore your hidden treasure. If you or
someone you know has a unique item, story to tell, and is ready to sell…we would love to hear from you! Please
note, the Pickers DO NOT pick stores, flea markets, malls, auction businesses, museums, or anything open to the
public. If interested, please send us your name, phone number, location, and description of the collection with
photos to:

americanpickers@cineflix.com or call (646) 493-2184

The Caliente Depot: A Timeless Icon of Lincoln Cou The Caliente Depot: A Timeless Icon of Lincoln County, Nevada 🌟  This stunning piece of history has stood proudly in the heart of Caliente for over a century. Built in 1923 by the Union Pacific Railroad, the Spanish-style Depot was once a bustling hub for travelers and commerce, playing a vital role in the region’s growth. Its striking architecture and rich past make it one of Nevada’s most treasured landmarks. Today, the Depot remains a symbol of Caliente’s heritage, serving as a community gathering place and a window into the past. Recently restored to its original terracotta exterior, this space will serve as a vibrant community hub for both residents and visitors.

šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡øHappy Presidents’ Day from Lincoln Count šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡øHappy Presidents’ Day from Lincoln County, Nevada!  Here in Lincoln County, history isn’t just something you read about—it’s something you can see, touch, and walk through. Named after President Abraham Lincoln, our county holds the stories of the Old West, of pioneers and dreamers who carved out a life in this rugged land.  Step inside the Lincoln County Museum, and you’ll find relics of a time long past—weathered saddles, tools worn smooth by hard-working hands, and echoes of a county that once bustled with miners, ranchers, and lawmen—and still does. Every artifact speaks of resilience, grit, and the unshakable spirit that built the West. The museum is open to the public Monday-Saturday. We’ve been told by reputable sources it’s one of the ā€œbest historical museumsā€ in the state of Nevada. ā¤ļø  So today, as we tip our hats to the leaders of our nation, we also honor the history that made this place home. Happy Presidents’ Day! #visitlincolncountynv #escapethechaos
