Ward Charcoal Ovens State Historic Park in Nevada
Under the twinkling night sky, the Ward Charcoal Ovens do have a somewhat mystical appearance. Even in daylight they stand out in the mountain scrublands of eastern Nevada. For a short time in the late 19th century, the ovens were used to extract silver from ore mined in the hills here. Today, the ovens are a well-preserved relic, a bit of American West history kept intact and standing as the centrepiece of this state park.
