On Sunday, September 29 David and Gayle Woodruff will present one of their popular living history programs at the Minden Mill Distillery. Join them at 1 p.m. for "The Reno Cure."
Reno has long been known as “The Biggest Little City,” but it wasn’t just the introduction of legalized gambling in 1931 that brought the town its fame. For the first half of the 20th century, hundreds of thousands of people came to the Truckee River town, to get a “quickie” dissolution to their marriage.
The Woodruff assume the Reno Divorce Ranch characters of Clive and Vivian Sterling, as they recount the unique, interesting, and often amusing history of the Reno Divorce Industry and its Divorce Ranches in the 1930s-60s. Seating is limited and reservations are required for the free, one-hour program. Click here to make a reservation.
