Thunder, quakes and floods: Washoe Valley and the Curse of Orson Hyde

For 170 years, the residents of Washoe and Carson valleys have had a convenient excuse when things went wrong. They're cursed.

But the building’s aesthetics could be changing, with the museum announcing recently that it intends to do a $2.5 million renovation that could transform the entrance to the building and add an event space. “This has been a long-term vision that we have had, knowing that we want to look like more than just a warehouse,” said the museum Executive Director Karen McClaflin. “We want to look like an auto museum.” What the auto museum is planning The renovation, which the automobile museum hopes to break ground on in the spring, will focus on three areas: the current entrance; a shed area connected to the museum that it currently uses for storage and car maintenance; and the museum’s current event space of roughly 5,500 square feet. McClaflin said the shed will be turned into a new front entryway with a cafe and gift shop. It will be closer to Front Street than the
