Visit Virginia City

Located 35 miles from Reno, Virginia City is an old western town that became an important industrial city in the American West during the mining boom of the 19th century. The discovery of a rich deposit of silver in 1859, known as the Comstock Lode, led thousands of people to flock to the area in hopes of striking it rich. During the city’s heyday, millions of dollars in gold and silver were mined in the area. In 1961, the town was declared as a National Historic Landmark and to this day continues to maintain its rich historic character and preserve its vibrant mining past. 

Things to Do: 

• Chollar Mine Tour - Tour of one of the great mines of the Comstock Lode deep beneath the hills of Virginia City.
• Ponderosa Mine Tour & Saloon - Located in downtown Virginia City, this historic saloon is attached to the Ponderosa mine. Grab a drink before heading underground to tour the old mine.
