The Sparks Museum is operated by volunteers and relies on memberships and donations to operate.  In 2014 the museum received funding to support educational programs which included free school tours, a free downloadable app walking tour of downtown Sparks, the NV150 Sesquicentennial Events Series – Celebrating 150 years of Nevada History and Heritage culminating with the Western Heritage Festival.

These programs have been funded, in part, by a grant from the Nevada Arts Council, a state agency, and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency, Nevada Humanities, Union Pacific Railroad and the City of Sparks. A special Thank You for the support.

Sparks Museum will close due to severe weather and Holidays. Event calendar has complete list of activities.
