I drove through Austin for the first time a few weeks ago. I hope it is preserved and becomes a tourist destination while keeping its character. Right - cattle brands.
Hell Jenni some how I missed the chat But loved the tour of Austin. The mural of the Old prospector the name Smitty is the artist I do believe .thank you .
The "Frostless" is not a water pump Jenni. You lift the handle to open the valve that allows piped water to come out. When the handle is down the water drains out of the pipe so in cold Icy weather the pipe does not freeze. Hence the name "Frostless".
Jenni thank you for the videos, they’re always fun and I love your voice it is soothing. That ‘water pump’ thingamajiggy in people’s yards isn’t a pump, it a lever operated water valve they call ‘frost proof’ . You see them in places it freezes a lot, and in campgrounds for the same reason. Blessings and ❤️ to Jenni !
I was researching a trip to Austin, Nevada and I thank you for the informative video! I visited Austin on September 22, 2022, one year after your visit. The Loneliest Highway Visitor & Welcome Center has a room for informational material but it contained very little material. Austin was still using the entrance hallway of the Lander County Courthouse (122 Main St.) for their visitor material. A significant problem is that the Courthouse was only open Monday thru Thursday. Check the internet as the schedule seems to change. Austin published a brochure called “A HISTORIC JOURNEY THROUGH AUSTIN NEVADA” (printed 2018) and the brochure was in limited supply. An earlier brochure listed the historic sites with numbers 1 thru 16 (The bronze plaques you see on the buildings). For unknown reasons, the new brochure (2018) lists the historic sites with letters A thru M. The brochures also listed the businesses that were open at that time of publication. The Austin Chamber of Commerce might be waiting to see which shops reopen before printing more brochures. Below I noted your video timeline and some additional information:
2:47 & 30:50 - Loneliest Highway Visitor & Welcome Center Near 81 Main St. (Hwy 50) 2:40 & 25:25 - St. Augustine Church (#3) 113 Virginia St. Built in 1866. 2:53 & 7:21 - Austin Library (# 7) 88 Main St. The oldest bank building in Nevada. The bank was in continuous operation as a bank from September 1863 until July 1962. 3:03 & 18:35 - Lincoln Highway Posts. There were 3 posts but one near the Champs gas station is missing. One of the remaining posts is located in front of the Lincoln Motel (60 Main St.), and the other is located in front of the Austin Historical Society Museum (180 Main St.). 5:42 and 34:21 - Old Firehouse (# 8) 67 Main St. (Hwy 50) The building was originally a brewery and converted to a firehouse in the early 1900’s. 5:46 and 35:07 - International Hotel (# 9) It is also Nevada Historical Marker No. 208 59 Main St. (Hwy 50) The oldest hotel in Nevada. 2:04, 10:28, and 30:17 - La Crescenzo Mercantile (# 14) (Currently Grandma’s Restaurant) 99 Main St.
6:04 - Old houses on the hillside See Wonderhussy Adventure TH-cam video #345, posted in 2019. She looked through the windows of the houses. 8:27 - Old City Hall (# 6) 90 South St. Constructed in 1866.
11:04 - Lander County Courthouse (# 16) 122 Main St. One of the oldest courthouses in Nevada. The cornerstone was laid in 1871.
11:16 - The Official HWY 50 Survival Guide “The Loneliest Road in America” is a little booklet (2.75” W x 5.5” H). There are (rubber) stamp locations in cities along Hwy 50 (Carson City, Dayton, Fernley, Fallon, Austin. Eureka, Ely, and Baker). If you collect at least 5 of 8 stamps, you could send in a page from the booklet to the Nevada Commission of Tourism and receive a certificate stating you completed the trip on Hwy 50. Check to see when the stamp locations are open as the days/time can change. In Austin, the only stamp location is in the Lander County Court House. In September 2022, it was open on Monday thru Thursday, from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. 16:20 - St. George’s Episcopal Church (# 5) 156 Main St. Constructed 1877-78. 22:30 - Old Methodist Church (# 4) 135 Court St. Erected in 1866. 27:01 - Woodford Mfg. “IOWA” model yard hydrant As mentioned in previous posts, they are variable flow outdoor faucets for use where temperature drops below freezing. 28:05 - Austin Churches (Nevada State Historical Marker # 67) The marker is located at the corner of Main St. And 7th St. 29:41 - Masonic and Odd Fellows Hall (# 15) 105 Main St.
Sites not shown in this video are: Gridley Store (# 1) 247 Water St. Lander High School (# 2) 130 6th St. Stokes Castle (#10) This site is also Nevada Historical Marker No. 59 Dirt road turnoff near Champs gas station Nevada Central Turntable (# 11) Off of Austin Roping Arena Rd, south of Hwy 50 Austin Cemetery (# 12) On the north and south sides of Hwy 50, near junction with NV-305 Old Hospital (# 13) This now a private residence near Reese St. and Cedar St.
This is SO cool!! When I went through Austin just last month, I was too early for anything. I’m going to put this back on my list because I would love to get the book of stamps and a certificate!
@@JenniGives I remember too a great guy who had a cool bottle shop. He would find real amazing old bottles and sell them. I bought a couple of neat old beer bottles. And the Owl bar was a favorite place to go to.
One of the best road trips I took in Nevada was along US 50! Remember the movie "Vanishing point“?I ended up in Austin just because I wanted to see where the movie was filmed. Believe me I can't wait to come back! Greetings from Italy!
We purchased a building out here and opened a bar. We are the bar with the neon saloon sign across from the visitors center with the cowboy painted on the side. Hope to see you back in town. 😀
I was in Austin years ago. It does look a bit more dead than I remember it. You saw so many more places than I remember. I got a bracelet there. Went to a hot springs just out of town. Had fun playing in it with friends. Don't remember the name.
I think its Spencer hot springs maybe...havent gotten tot ry it yet. I probably would’ve bought him something had anybody been open maybe next time I’ll go on a weekend. But for sure the hotel lady said it’s way more dead than ever before... darn rona.
I've driven through Austin many, many times and always enjoyed it on my Lincoln Highway trips. It's always been a little 'abandoned' and is 'open' when they feel like it. I believe that gas station was closed a few years ago, as the owner who owns the other station closed it after buying it. At least, that's the story I was told a few years ago. It's defo one of those towns you need to watch your speed. The sheriff is quite busy there.
I could believe that. and yes the sheriff is busy. I was distracted and came into town a little too fast, not crazy, but he was nice and flashed the lights and I adjusted accordingly. Usually cruise control is my friend. lol
@@JenniGives Yes, I've sat and watched as he sits at one end of town catching drivers. Then goes to the other end and starts from that end. It's such a great place to explore, I think. And, mostly friendly folk I've found.
The Nevada Central Railroad came south from Battle Mountain to the bottom of the hill in Austin. From that depot, there was a horse/mule drawn railroad that went right up main street to the silver mines above the town (you can see the old mines if you drive east on 50 to the top of the hill).
I live in Sparks, Nevada about 4 hours to the West. The drive across Highway 50 to ELY and beyond is one I have made numerous times. It is one of my favorite drives. Few people and little traffic. The L signs denote the Lincoln Highway, the first transcontinental highway in the US. The passport you spoke about is one promoted by the Nevada tourist bureau or something to that effect. As you cross the state from Carson City to Baker you can have this passport stamped in every city as well as Great Basin National Park. If you get at least 5 stamps you can send it in and get a certificate or something saying that you have survived " The Lonliest Highway." I got 7 stamps,, but decided to just keep the stamped passport. It's a fun souvenir. The first time I made the journey probably 30 years ago the highway was much loneier than it is today, but traffic volumes are still very low. The roads are excellent and there are several towns and other attractions along the way. I highly recommend the trip. Thanks for the video Jenni. Although I have been through Austin a number of times, I have only stopped to have the passport stamped or get some snacks. During my last drive to Utah I did, however, stop at Stokes Castle for a short time. Your video show much more detail than I have seen. I imagine that most of the folks who live there like it just as it is and don't want any franchised businesses in town. Not that any would go there with the small population. Apparently, there are many hiking and mountain biking trails around as well.
So happy that you enjoyed yourself! These are the small towns that I like. You never know what you will find if you don’t get out and explore. Love your adventures!
There seem to be so many I should probably get a map and start marking... where you are though has so much more old history. Only recently have I understood how new Nevada is.
Looks like it was growing until the Pandemic hit, so many business lost as well as jobs. Lots of cool history in the old town and great old buildings. It would take a lot work and encouragement to get that town growing again, well Jenni that was a nice tour waiting for the next adventure. 👍👍👍👍👍❤🇺🇸
Thanks for taking us with you Jenni! Great job narrating and adding inserts to help us understand with more detail. I drove Hwy 50 more than 30 years ago but we just didn't have enough time to stop at each small town. It looks like they have made some good renovations. I hope someone invests in opening a few more simple restaurants and shops. They just need a hook to draw travelers to stay there. I would love to do the walking tour someday.
While WFH makes living in isolated communities like Austin more feasible in an economic sense, that lifestyle still requires a high degree of self-reliance and personality traits that most people don't have.
For something really strange check out one of many YT videos of Ashgabat, the capital of Turkmenistan. It's full of huge white marble buildings and monuments, enormously wide streets, yet despite a (supposed) population over a million people are hardly ever visible. It's such a secretive country no one knows the real story why the city's so empty.
sad ! a dollar general store may save the town , in real state its location ,location, location ,to bad to far out for most ,good job on the walk about thank you
I guess that this is a great town if you don't like people, where is everybody? Population 200, no one around. They must sleep late and take a nap in the afternoon. Every person who moves there, increases the population by a half a percent. Interesting as always, love the name, Nevada's answer to Austin, Texas. Thanks for a unique video Jenni.
Let's cross our fingers that it disappears off the map. I grew up there and every moment off it was pure agony. Also your review is garbage and inaccurate.
It seems like it must of been hard on you growing up in such a small town. Might want to talk to a professional about your agony. Hope you have a good day.
Liars Clubs were quite common during the day. Special unwritten rules of the great subtle lie were observed, and nobody was ever called a liar. In fact, a feigned belief in another person's lie was itself a lie, so agreement was encouraged.

Great video Jenni
Thanks! 🐝🌵
You're Awesome! Thanks for the Real Life perspective on Life!
You are welcome! Thanks for watchin
Good video thanks for the info.
You are welcome!
Jenni thank you for being and keeping it real😎
☺️🤟
I drove through Austin for the first time a few weeks ago. I hope it is preserved and becomes a tourist destination while keeping its character. Right - cattle brands.
It supposedly get busy in spring and fall with mountain bikers. I need to go camp near by and spend more time there. It is a lovely little town
I loved the cat.
He was so handsome 🐱
My Home Town!
Lucky!
Hell Jenni some how I missed the chat But loved the tour of Austin. The mural of the Old prospector the name Smitty is the artist I do believe .thank you .
lol yes... in the video I add an H suddenly 🤣 kept calling him SHmitty
The "Frostless" is not a water pump Jenni. You lift the handle to open the valve that allows piped water to come out. When the handle is down the water drains out of the pipe so in cold Icy weather the pipe does not freeze. Hence the name "Frostless".
Oh Cool! I knew you guys would know! 😍
Jenni thank you for the videos, they’re always fun and I love your voice it is soothing.
That ‘water pump’ thingamajiggy in people’s yards isn’t a pump, it a lever operated water valve they call ‘frost proof’ . You see them in places it freezes a lot, and in campgrounds for the same reason.
Blessings and ❤️ to Jenni !
You are welcome!
That would make sense as Austin gets snow 🥶❄️☃️
A great walking tour, hope Austin increases its population.
We shall see 🐝
Awesome video Jenni. I loved your narration of all the sites. I felt like I was walking with you.
Yay! Well editing I was still cracking myself up that I did not see the other two churches the first night 😂
I love these old towns!
Awesome job Jenni 👏 lots of great info
Thanks!!!
A very interesting video and town.Thanks for showing it.Stay Safe.
Glad you enjoyed it! I hope to get back to Austin to do some mountain biking.

Glad you enjoyed it
Great video jenni thanks.. looking forward to the next one… good luck and best wishes..j.
Thanks Jason! Have a great day 🐝
I think we'll do a week or more on US Hwy 50 exploring the small towns next trip in the region. Thanks for the preview.
You are welcome! I never seem to have enough time to stay for a whole couple days. Further east is on my list too 😍
@@JenniGives Stop at Cave Lake if you get a chance!
About turquoise, Nevada was the number one turquoise producer in the US for a long time, not sure if we still are?
Beautiful shot from the top of the stairs. Loved seeing the church in the distance
I need to get back to those...added it to my filming card specifically. I love those shots too.
Amazing video! Thanks for sharing it with us all!
Thanks Dan 😁
Please show us on the map where you are on your adventures. Awesome video!!!
Gene, That’s a good idea .... like a screenshot of the state of Nevada with like a pin on it? Or an up-close of a map?

Lived in Austin back in 1995-96. Most of the businesses were open and it was a nice, sleepy ghost town.
Ahhh neat. It doesn’t have to be super touristy, just its such a neat town.
Oh My goodness all the abandoness, I would defiantly be finding a way into them building. Thanks for sharing this place with us all.
I wanted to so bad... time crunch AND I was slightly nervous to walk in on someone. Some of those are not abandoned lol

That is a compliment I will take all day!! She is amazing 😍
The cat is so cute. Awesome video, it looks like a really neat little town.
There seem to be so many really neat towns in Nevada lol let’s hope I don’t find the yucky towns
Thanks for taking us with you Jenni! Great job narrating and adding inserts to help us understand with more detail. I drove Hwy 50 more than 30 years ago but we just didn't have enough time to stop at each small town. It looks like they have made some good renovations. I hope someone invests in opening a few more simple restaurants and shops. They just need a hook to draw travelers to stay there. I would love to do the walking tour someday.
I hope just a few more things come back. They have a draw for mountain biking is one thing... I agree. They need just a lil something 😃
While WFH makes living in isolated communities like Austin more feasible in an economic sense, that lifestyle still requires a high degree of self-reliance and personality traits that most people don't have.
That is an excellent point. When your grocery store is over an hour away, a lot of people can’t handle that.
@@JenniGives Also, if you live there and for some reason get on bad terms with another resident, you can't really avoid them.
@@R32R38 100% in these small Nevada towns a whole lotta nepotism and old timer locals who don’t like new or change...so many things to avoid

I have never heard of such a thing BUT they get snow... SO it’s for emergency water in a freeze? Thats super smart
Is that beam holding up the bank building wall??
Maybe 🥴 some of these places do look like they may have a delicate balance to it being still standing 😅
sad ! a dollar general store may save the town , in real state its location ,location, location ,to bad to far out for most ,good job on the walk about thank you
You are welcome! With only 128 residents, I am sure thats a no go.
Enjoyed the tour Jenni,...I just subscribed after watching your first cabin hike with sjw, .. Danny in Alabama
HI Danny! Welcome along!
Wish I was there.
Have a good weekend Greg!
Wow! What a fabulous tour of Austin with the hottest girl on the internet! Thanks Jenni, that was super fun!

💯💯 I learned that after the fact…
Hi
Hi!
Let's cross our fingers that it disappears off the map. I grew up there and every moment off it was pure agony. Also your review is garbage and inaccurate.
It seems like it must of been hard on you growing up in such a small town.
Might want to talk to a professional about your agony.
Hope you have a good day.
