Nevada Historical Markers

With Nevada Historical Markers, stories of Nevada's past are at your fingertips, offering a unique window through which to view the people, places, and occurrences that have shaped the Silver State. Nevada Historical Markers is an interactive guide to the nearly one thousand historical markers that have been placed throughout the state. From the bustling streets of Las Vegas to the Sierra Nevada and the sweeping valleys and ranges of the Great Basin, each marker is a portal to another era.
- Navigate Nevada's historical markers with ease, using an intuitive interactive map to pinpoint markers near you or explore regions you plan to visit. Prefer a list? This app has you covered, allowing you to scroll through markers (sorted to highlight the markers nearest to you, if you enable location permissions) and select those that pique your interest by marking them as favorites.

Nevada Historical Markers is almost entirely self-contained, with all marker content and images stored within the app on your device so that you can remain connected to Nevada's history even if your device is offline. Maps that rely upon external servers for content may be inaccessible offline, but the rest of the app's features will continue to function as usual regardless of your device's connectivity.
