We saw the book«Lost in Austin, a Nevada Memoir» at the Nevada Stare Museum. Our sons names are Austin and Nevada so we bought the book, liked it so much we decided to drive there from Indiana. Loved it! Stokes Castle was a very cool start of a great hike..

If you ever find yourself in Austin don’t forget to swing by Stokes Castle. It is freakishly awesome! Here’s the story: At the end of the 19th century, a rich guy named Anson Phelps Stokes decided to build a summer home for his family. Naturally, he chose to erect a three-story stone tower in the hills above Austin. It was put to use for only a year and then the Stokes family permanently left the area. Since it’s fenced off there’s not much you can do except look and take pictures, but it’s still worth checking out. What an unexpected but wonderful find in desolate central Nevada!
