Less than 20 miles from Lake Tahoe’s South Shore, over Kingsbury Grade and in the valley, sits Nevada’ oldest settlement — a small town of roughly 1,000 people steeped in history and the perfect spot for a relaxing day trip off the hill.
Genoa, first called Mormon Station, was founded in 1851 as a trading post in Utah Territory. A community of permanent settlers began to build up around the post, and in 1855 it was renamed Genoa by a Mormon elder who was thought to have admired Christopher Columbus and his birthplace of Genoa, Italy.

======================================================================
In 1864, when an act of Congress created the Nevada Territory, Genoa became its first settlement as more people moved to the valley to start farms, ranches and other businesses.
Today, the quaint town is arguably best known for its annual Genoa Candy Dance Arts & Crafts Faire that draws in hundreds of visitors from around the region every September. Or maybe it’s the herds of adorable mule deer that casually walk through town. Or perhaps it might be the fact it’s home to the oldest drinking establishment in the Silver State.
From historic buildings and cheese boards to antiques and natural hot springs, Genoa has a little something for everyone. C’mon — spend a day there with us.
The Pink House is a cheese and charcuterie shop located inside a Gothic Revival-style home built in 1855. Restored by owners Dan and Lois Wray in the style and décor of the late 19th century, the shop carries gourmet food products and a wide variety of European and American cheeses and cured meats. Enjoy a glass of wine and a cheeseboard on the wrap-around porch or dive into dishes from the cafe menu, featuring delicacies like a mushroom tart or gnocchi short rib ragu.
Soak in five naturally fed mineral hot springs with views of the Sierra Nevada and access dry saunas and Eucalyptus steam rooms with a $55 day pass to 1862 David Walley’s Hot Springs. For a little extra pampering, book a facial or massage at the spa.
Nevada’s oldest “thirst parlor,” as the sign outside declares, was built in 1853 and has been serving up drinks ever since. Filled with old West memorabilia, the historic bar has welcomed the likes of presidents Ulysses S. Grant and Theodore Roosevelt. A number of movies have been filmed there, including “The Shootist” with John Wayne and “Honky Tonk Man” with Clint Eastwood. Musicians Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and John Denver have even enjoyed cold ones there. So, too, did actress/singer Raquel Welch. And, as legend has it, she might have even left something behind — ask the bartender for the story. After you do, wet your whistle with a Peg’s Bloody Mary made from scratch with “10 secret ingredients” for the last 20 years, or a Stiff Dill Pickle — a shot of Jameson Whiskey with a fresh dill pickle juice back.
Antiques Plus and Petersunn Antiques are great spots to peruse antiques in Downtown Genoa. For a real experience, ring the bell at Genoa Museum and Archives — the old storefront next to the Genoa Bar with an “antiques” sign — and wait for proprietor and lifelong antique collector Ron Bommarito to walk down from his house. The small store was built in 1866 and is stacked floor to ceiling — quite literally — with treasures found around Nevada by Bommarito.
Pop into the Mormon State Historic Park Museum and the Genoa Courthouse Museum to discover more about Genoa’s unique history and the settlers who traveled out West to make the town home.
Genoa’s Candy Dance started in 1919 as a way to raise money to purchase street lights for the small community. The idea was to draw in more couples to the fundraising dance with the incentive of handmade candy. The lights were purchased thanks to the dance, and every year after the event was put on to pay for a year’s worth of electricity. Today the faire has grown to two days with live music; food, arts and crafts vendors; and a dinner and dance on the final evening. With over 700 tickets purchased every year, the event still raises money to fund a substantial portion of Genoa’s annual budget.
The most significant event in the history of Genoa was probably the June 28, 1910, fire, when two blocks of the business district and several homes burned. The fire was started by an inmate in the County Alms house (poor house), located in what was originally built as a hotel at the corner of Main and Nixon St. The poor man decided to burn a pan of sulfur under his bed to get rid of bed bugs. There was still some flame in the pan that set his straw mattress on fire — and most of the town. Go to www.genoanevada.org to learn more about Genoa and its robust history
