World’s First Green Visitors Center In Nevada

The world’s first completely green-energy based visitors center is located in Tonopah, Nev.  Located halfway between Las Vegas and Reno on U.S. 95, the center is built of recycled materials and runs entirely on power created by solar panels and a wind generator. Inside the center, visitors learn about renewable energy through detailed displays while also watching it in action. The center, located on U.S. 95 at the south end of town, provides tourist information on Tonopah and other Nevada locations as far north as Reno-Tahoe and as far south as Las Vegas.
