The Historic Fourth Ward School Foundation is a non-profit organization based in Virginia City, Nevada, dedicated to preserving and promoting the historic Fourth Ward School building. The school was built in 1876 and served as a public school until 1936. It is now a museum that showcases the history of education in Nevada and the West.

The building itself is a unique example of Victorian-era architecture, with four floors and a distinctive clock tower. The museum features exhibits on the history of the Fourth Ward School, the mining industry that drove the growth of Virginia City, and the daily life of students and teachers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The Foundation's mission is to ensure the continued preservation of the Fourth Ward School building and to promote education and historical understanding through its museum exhibits and educational programs. The Foundation raises funds through donations, memberships, and special events, and uses these funds to maintain and improve the building and its exhibits.

Visitors to the Historic Fourth Ward School Museum can explore the halls and classrooms of this historic building, view artifacts and documents from the school's history, and learn about the important role education played in the development of Virginia City and the American West.

Layia glandulosa - whitedaisy tidytips Layia glandulosa growing on an unstable hillside adjacent to mountain big sagebrush steppe in good ecological condition. It is notable that Layia glandulosa, perhaps like many species of the tarweed subgroup of Asteraceae, is more abundant where disturbance is regular. This species was not observed in the adjacent sagebrush steppe. This site occurs along the Thomas Creek Drainage just east of the Thomas Creek trailhead, southwest Reno, Carson Range, Washoe County, Nevada.
