The Verdi History Preservation Society, Inc. (VHPS) consists of residents concerned with the preservation of the history of Verdi, Nevada, and the surrounding area. In 2002, with the support of the Verdi Community Library, VHPS began collecting photographs and artifacts that pertain to telling the history and story of Verdi. Our collection contains over 85 scrapbooks of photographs and histories about some of the early families in Verdi. Our mission is to collect, educate and share the history and the story of Verdi, Nevada.

VHPS has be working on preserving the old 1926 Verdi Public School brick building back to life. The building will be the new Verdi Community Center and Museum.  We will tell the story about how our volunteers and supporters helped us accomplish this project step-by-step. From demolition and installation of new walls and flooring, plumbing, heating, and painting walls, cleaning up the lot, repair and replace fence poles and even working on landscaping.
