A big THANK YOU to all of the volunteers, presenters and guests for making the 2023 Encampment a success.

We can not thank Jim Marsh, Curt, Fred and the rest of the staff at Longstreet Inn and Casino for opening their “home” and hearts to us.  We truly felt welcomed and taken care of the entire time.

We also share gratitude with the entire Amargosa Valley and Pahrump Communities for supporting our event and partnering in our mission to preserve the history of the area for generations to come.

See you next year at the 75th Anniversary Encampment.
