The back mirror came around the horn from Scottland in 1840, and then by covered wagon over the mountains from San Francisco. Mark Twain was a regular customer here, and Presidents Ulysses Grant and Teddy Roosevelt also stopped in for a few drinks. Every Govenor of Nevada has been in here for a drink, as well as many famous actors, politians and buisnesmen..The list is a mile long. The mirrow was made using diamond dust in the backing, and is still in good condition. If you Google "Genoa Bar" you'll get a lot of info about this place
