No Trespassing historic sign, dating back to 1869 in Wells, Nevada
I saw and photographed this poster/sign in Wells, an old almost ghost town in Nevada.
The town is full of history from the time when Chinese, Irish and Italian immigrants came here to build the Central Pacific Railroad.
I took a lot of photos from this place so interesting to explore, but I haven’t yet uploaded them to my FAA gallery.
This No Trespassing historic sign was on the outside wall of “The Bullshead” tavern. I found it interesting because of the words and rule: “All Nations Welcome, Except… Carrie – No Trespassing”. I don’t know who Carrie was, but I assume there was a misspelling, meaning to say that people carrying weapons were not allowed to enter 🙂
** I was wrong! Read Terri’s comment about Carrie Nation. That explains it all 🙂
– People must have been exasperated by her! Ha, ha…
The tavern sign also brings back the old-time nostalgia of Wild West life in the USA. I think that it can make a great poster. If you want to hang it on your wall, it’s available as art print in my signs art gallery.
Here is a framed wall mounted version of the No Trespassing historic sign in Wells, Nevada. Click on the image to see all the options:

Excellent response to the prompt. Great poster!
Thank you so much
I love it! If you think it applies, it does! It’s a great submission! It has got my sense of humor.Wonderful. I just want to see Carrie’s face. Thank you for adding to the fun!
Thank you – you are a WP artisan! 🙂
I have to be somewhere, especially since I am not to swift making crafts or baking bread.
oh that’s funny that they banned Carrie
Ha, ha… 🙂
Carrie Nation, to whom they are referring was an American woman who was a radical member of the temperance movement (no alcohol). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrie_Nation
Wow, thank you so much for this valuable information, Terri! – Your comment clarifies the dilemma.
… and the photo shows her holding the hatchet! Ha, ha… That makes this poster even more valuable 🙂
So glad I could help…it took a moment, but I said aloud to myself “nation” then Carrie went right with it! You found a piece of cool history and learned a lesson yourself! 🙂
Clever! 🙂
