The former 109-acre campus of the Stewart Indian School, which was formed in the 1880s "when Nevada's Superintendent of Public Instruction, C.S. Young, recommended to the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Nevada State Legislature that an Indian industrial school be established because most of the state's Native Americans were not being formally educated," consists of 83 buildings. Exhibits on the site include a video history program, basketry, Cassinelli point collection, and E.S. Curtiss photographs.
