First Lady Kathy Sisolak donates inaugural gown to Nevada State Museum
Nevada First Lady Kathy Sisolak continued what has become a tradition in Nevada on Wednesday, Oct. 30, by donating the gown she wore at her husband’s inaugural ball to the Nevada State Museum.
“It’s a real honor to be a part of Nevada’s rich history of the inaugural gowns and proud to be a part of this museum,” Mrs. Sisolak said. “It’s unbelievable.”
Joined by Gov. Steve Sisolak and former Nevada First Lady Dema Guinn, Kathy Sisolak signed a formal Deed of Gift document for the Dolce & Gabanna gown, which she purchased online and wore at the inaugural balls in Reno and Las Vegas.
“She’s now a part of Nevada history,” Gov. Sisolak said. “One hundred years from now, folks will be able to see the dress, which is pretty exciting.”
The donation brings the museum’s collection of First Lady gowns to 16, said Jan Loverin, curator at Marjorie Russell Clothing and Textiles Research Center, where the gowns are kept.

Reno, Nev. (June 17, 2014) – In celebration of 150 years of statehood, the Nevada Museum of Art honors the “Battle Born” state with a significant exhibition detailing the journey toward October 31, 1864. This special show features historic treasures from our nation’s capital, including a special four-day presentation of the original Emancipation Proclamation signed by President Abraham Lincoln, on loan from the National Archives in Washington, D.C. Also on exhibit are Timothy O’ Sullivan photographs, historical Nevada objects, and statehood documents on loan from important regional museums. Exclusively sponsored by the E. L. Wiegand Foundation, The 36th Star: Nevada’s Journey from Territory to State is on display August 2 through November 2, 2014 at the Nevada Museum of Art, Donald W. Reynolds Center for the Visual Arts, E. L. Wiegand Gallery located at 160 West Liberty Street in downtown Reno, Nev.
The 36th Star will be displayed in three galleries on the Museum’s second floor, each housing a unique combination of significant objects telling the story of Nevada’s journey to statehood. Highlights include: the 175-page transcription of Nevada’s State Constitution that was sent from Territorial Governor James Nye to Abraham Lincoln via telegram—the longest telegram at that time which cost nearly $60,000 to send (in today’s dollars); the original copy of the Nevada State Constitution, typically held in storage at the Nevada State Library and Archives in Carson City; never-before-displayed Civil War-era muster rolls of the Nevada Volunteers; artifacts belonging to Nevada’s first governor Henry G. Blasdel and Captain Joseph Stewart, commander of Nevada’s Fort Churchill; a letter from the first Governor of Nevada Henry Blasdel to President Abraham Lincoln, notifying Washington of Nevada’s ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment; as well as the historic Austin Flour Sack used to raise money for the troops during the Civil War. Additionally, two sets of original Timothy O’Sullivan photographs on loan from the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., bookend the exhibition. Highlights include O’Sullivan’s famous photograph A Harvest of Death, Gettysburg from 1863, as well as over 20 Nevada photographs taken by O’Sullivan in 1867 as part of Clarence King’s government-sponsored Geological Exploration of the Fortieth Parallel. This is the first time these historic O’Sullivan images of Nevada have been shown in the state. The exhibition includes items on loan from the Nevada State Museum, the Nevada State Library and Archives, the Nevada Historical Society, the Library of Congress, Washington D.C., and the National Archives, Washington, D.C.

Wiegand Gallery located at 160 West Liberty Street in downtown Reno.
