Carson City Carson City was the picturesque Eagle Valley in 1858, when it was founded, and was named for the nearby Carson River. Today, Nevada’s only territorial and state capital offers a list of attractions as long as its history— from the blue waters of Lake Tahoe to the steam and clank at the Nevada State Railroad Museum. Today, it’s making culinary history with a collection of fine dining establishments that rival those found in the “big city!” Carson City Convention & Visitors Bureau (800) NEVADA-1 (775-687-7410) visitcarsoncity.com
