Sherman Station was constructed on Sherman Creek in Huntington Valley, 60 miles south of Elko, by rancher Valentine Walther. Walther, his family, and friends took seven years to complete it, finishing in 1903. The house served as a home, post office, stage stop, and community center. Miners hauling ore from northeast Nevada mines could stop there to rest in the bunkhouse and feed livestock. The ranch was named Sherman when the post office opened. In 1995, Peter and Kathy Scheidemann of the XJ Ranch donated it to the Chamber. The house and outbuildings were moved to Elko in 1997, and after restoration it opened as Elko’s Chamber of Commerce and Visitor’s Center.
