Literary Arts: Jeanne Sharp Howerton

Join us for a Literary Arts reception as we welcome Nevada author Jeanne Sharp Howerton. 📖

Howerton is a fourth generation Nevadan who grew up on the remote Blue Eagle Ranch in Railroad Valley. After graduating from from the University of Nevada, Reno, she taught gifted and talented elementary students for thirty years. Since retiring, she has published nine books on histories throughout central and eastern Nevada, including her childhood diary, published 50 years after its writing in 2007. Her talk will share childhood stories of life on a remote ranch, attending a one-room school, and hiding in the house when fallout clouds from atomic testing floated overhead. It is a story shared by many children who lived in rural Nevada.

Doors open at 5pm, free to the public and the Art Bar (Valerie's Place) will be open!
