Fallon Attractions

Some have called the city of Fallon the "Oasis of Nevada" and with good reason. Lush farms and ranches surround the city courtesy of the Carson and Truckee river diversions. Fans of the movie Topgun may want to stop by Fallon as the training grounds for the air force pilots, NAS, is located nearby and fighter jets frequently streak across the sky.
Churchill County Museum and Archives
The Churchill County Museum and Archives in Fallon is a wonderful repository for all things historical related to Churchill County. The museum bills itself as "the Best Little Museum on the Loneliest Road in America" and is chock full of memorabilia from the 19th and 20th Centuries including dresses, photographs, quilts, and a 1908 Oldsmobile. Located beside the Churchill County Museum and Archives is the Woodliff Novelty Store, one of the oldest buildings in Fallon.

Grimes Point Archeological Site
The Grimes Point Archaeological Site near the interesting town of Fallon is a great spot to view petroglyphs. The Native Indians used these rocks to carve interesting figures approximately 6000 years ago. The Grimes Point Archaeological Site also features an ancient storage cave that is well worth a look. A self-guiding trail takes visitors from attraction to attraction as points of interest are marked.
