Wilkins, Nevada: A 20th Century Ghost Town
A history of the small roadside community of Wilkins, Nevada in the twentieth century by Howard Hickson.
Wilkins, Nevada, was located about 25 miles north of Wells on U.S. 93. Build next to the Wine Cup Ranch, Wilkins was centered on the Thousand Springs Trading Post, built in 1947 and purchased in 1953 by a group headed by movie star Jimmy Stewart. Hickson's story focuses on John Moschetti, who managed the trading post and served as Wilkins' postmaster for the seventeen years a U.S. Post Office operated in the area.
