Found in Ely, the Ward Charcoal Ovens State Historic Park is a historic preservation and public recreation location. These charcoal ovens were constructed in the second half of the 19th century, when Nevada was in its infancy to help process rich silver ore that was discovered in the area. Once mining ended, the ovens were used to shelter travelers and even had a reputation as a hideout for stagecoach bandits. Now, while Nevada has developed into the Battle Born State we know and love, we are pleased to be able to have these reminders of the building blocks of our State. For more than forty years, the Richard Harris Law Firm has contributed to the growth of Nevada, too. We have worked with clients throughout the Southwest to aid them in recovering the necessary funds following an accident outside of their control. While our firm may not be as old as the charcoal ovens, it has created a strong and lasting reputation for success. Just as our early Nevadans depended on the ovens, todays Nevadans depend on the Richard Harris Law Firm.55'
