Visit Virginia City

Once a vital settlement between Denver and San Francisco, Virginia City, Nevada, influenced the entire country. During its boom, Virginia City's mining proceeds amounted to millions of dollars, equaling billions today. Every inch of this picturesque, Victorian-era town, celebrates this colorful history. Stroll our authentic board sidewalks, Old West saloons, shops, museums, and restaurants. Or visit historic churches, 19th-century homes, public buildings, historic attractions and cemeteries. Or make plans to attend one of our nationally recognized events. Whatever you do, we invite you to journey back in time and dive deeper into why Virginia City was one of the most important mining settlements in the west.
