The first arch was installed in October of 1926 to commemorate the completion of the Lincoln and Victory highways. Since 1926, the arch has been through three iterations now in total.

It's another quirky landmark in the great state of Nevada worth checking out while visiting The Biggest Little City In The World.

Disappointing for me, but good to know they strive to keep the sign in working order and looking pretty and sparkly.

It was like walking onto the valley forge set of the movie. And it's still a wonderful library too! Are you kidding me?! And BTW everyone there( you know, the librarians) are so kind and informative.

The real highlight of the place, though, was the museum-quality sci-fi movie and TV show displays they had throughout the building. It was like geek heaven. You could tell it was assembled with a combination of passion for the subject matter and a desire to share as much as possible with visitors. There were tons of obscure and iconic Star Wars-and Star Trek-related items in display cabinets everywhere, as well as a lot of interesting information about science-related human accomplishments through time. It's too much to describe . . . I highly recommend a visit if you're at all interested in anything sci-fi-related. It was fascinating for me; I had a really good time taking in as much as I could learning about meteorites, learning about the T.A.R.D.I.S. from Dr. Who, posing next to the R2-D2, etc. etc. It was great. Parking in the West Stadium Parking Complex was super easy; you just park on the third floor (which is the garage-entrance floor off the main street) and the Planetarium is practically connected right to the garage via a very small walkway/bridge right off the third floor.

It was built in 2016 and is a single arch bridge with suspension cables. There is a historical marker here that gives some info. It reads, "First settlement in this area was a toll station & bridge constructed on this site in 1859-60 by E.W. Fuller. It was later known as Lake's Crossing after Myron C. Lake purchased this property in 1863. Lake's land gift to the new overland railroad assured a station and settlement. Charles Crocker of the Central Pacific sold the first town lots May 9, 1868, naming the town Reno after his friend, a Union general, Jesse L. Reno, killed in the Civil War." The bridge is located next to the county courthouse. Rumor has it that newly divorced women would walk out of the courthouse and onto the bridge, where they would throw their old wedding ring into the river. And yes, some rings have been recovered from the river. In case you weren't aware, Reno is known as the "Divorce Capital of the World." [Review 17718 overall - 62 in Nevada - 1239 of 2022.]
