The Twaddle-Pedroli Ranch is a lovely, old property in Washoe Valley, just south of Bowers Mansion.  The ranch was purchased in 1869 for $5000 by John Twaddle.  A few of the original buildings still stand, including a large horse  barn, chicken house, and a beautiful stone dairy house.  The property was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. 


What to bring:

  • camera
  • painting gear
  • drinking water
  • lunch or snack
  • cell phone
  • artist umbrella, hat, sunglasses, hiking boots
  • carts might be a little awkward - this is old farm land we will be walking around weeds and irrigation ditches, totebags or backpacks might be easier.

The mountains will have snow on them and the fields will be greening up.
