Sharing the Stories of the Unsung in Northern Nevada Since 1996
Please Give To Our 2025 Fundraiser
As we position ourselves to have a successful 2025 it is important that we concentrate on our basic operations. Making sure our core costs are covered allows us to continue our outreach projects including a museum that we
founded over two years ago that honors the history of African American firefighters in Nevada as well as some of the military and forest regions of the Northwest United States.
Greg Black
Our "Walk The Walk & Talk The Talk" Person Of 2024
This year we honor Greg Black who is a dedicated husband, father, grandfather, OSI board member, a friend of this community, a local business owner, and an entrepreneur. People don’t realize how much he has helped this community with his unselfish acts of
kindness and encouragement for the betterment of people. He doesn’t brag. He’s very humble. He just gets it done. People can't imagine the civil support that he has given since arriving in Reno, Nevada. So, this year, we are honoring him with our
2024 Walk The Walk, Talk The Talk Award.
Thank you for your
dedication to Northern Nevada

STORIES #backintime
It is often said that there are a thousand stories in the Naked City. Every house has a bag of untitled pictures, a box of papers stored under a bed or in the back of a closet, to say nothing of those with storage sheds out back, containing untold treasure.
“Our Story, Inc” is all about the stories heretofore untold being brought out, dusted off and shared with the community.
If you’d like to tell YOUR story, we’d be glad to record it. If you would like to donate a previously recorded oral history, we’d be pleased to add it to our collection.
