| Von Schmidt Monument Historic Park is a small park located northwest of Verdi, near the Nevada/California border. You stand at a crossroads of human history, dating back to the time of mammoth hunters. This route across the Sierra Nevada was a vital path for Native Americans, mountain hunters, horse-drawn cart pioneers, miners, caravans, and travelers along the Lincoln Highway. | |
| Archaeologists have noted that this area served as a transportation corridor for thousands of years. It was used by nomadic groups and as a trade route for the Washoe tribe and other tribes. The hunting trails gradually became Native American trails, and mountain hunters opened up wagon routes, which later became post roads, railroads, and eventually automobile highways. At or near this location, the history of Nevada, California, and the entire United States has been shaped by the people who have traveled across the Sierra Nevada mountain range since the dawn of humankind. | |
