- In 1933, the Legislature adopted "Home Means Nevada" as the official state song.
Mrs. Bertha Raffetto of Reno wrote the song to honor the state.
The refrain of the song goes as follows:
"Home" means Nevada,
"Home" means the hills,
"Home" means the sage and the pines.
Out by the Truckee's silvery rills,
Out where the sun always shines.
There is a land that l love the best,
Fairer than all I can see.
Right in the heart of the golden West,
"Home" means Nevada to me.
