It’s almost impossible to fathom, a local family business has been operating successfully in Northern Nevada for 125 years. Savage and Son was started in 1893, and may be the only business in state history that’s been operating continuously that long. They had a big party to celebrate at the Reno Sparks Convention Center, that included Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval, who says this “Speaks to the Character of the family.” The company got started in the mining days of Virginia City, and as part of the celebration donated a check to the Fourth Ward School Museum there.
