Rural Nevada at it's small-town best, Gerlach is anything but typical.

Listed on the National Registrar of Historic places, the Gerlach water tower was built in 1909 to serve the needs of the railroad and the town. The 30′ redwood tower slowly fell into disrepair after 1953 when it ceased to be used. In 2006, as a gift to the town, Burning Man restored the water tower to it’s former beauty.
