I have been to the oldest bar in America when I lived in Rhode Island. Founded in 1673 The Horse Tavern is the oldest bar in the U.S. and very nostalgic, But the Genoa bar has That old wild west Saloon Feel. Where else can you belly up to the bar and say you had a Beer at the same bar as famous people such as Ulysses S.Grant, “Teddy” Roosevelt, Mark Twain, Clark Gable, and John Wayne. Put the Genoa Bar on your must-see list, but be sure to leave your horse outside. According to the signposted on the entrance wall, No horses allowed in the salon.
Before Nevada was a state in 1853, a bar opened in the Utah territories. Eleven years later, in 1864, president Lincoln received the longest telegraph ever sent, The Nevada state declaration.
On October, 31st 1864, He Grants Nevada Statehood. The Genoa Bar now The Oldest in Nevada.
