Mormon Station State Historic Park is a state park in downtown Genoa, Nevada, interpreting the site of the first permanent nonnative settlement in Nevada. Mormon Station was originally settled by Mormon pioneers and served as a respite for travelers on the Carson Route of the California Trail. The park offers artifacts and exhibits about the station's history housed in a replica of the 1851 trading post stockade which burned down in 1910.
