The creation of a museum in Yerington was envisioned during the local celebration of the United States Bicentennial in 1976. In 1978 the Lyon County Museum Society purchased the Seventh Day Adventist Church on Yerington's Main Street. This building had been a Community Church in the town of Mason since 1911 and had been moved to Yerington in 1930.
