Virginia
City, Nevada is just a short drive from Reno and is well worth
the trip if you're interested in history or just having a good
time. The town is well maintained and has been restored to look
pretty much like it did during the gold and silver rush days.
If you're visiting and don't have access to a car, several tour
companies offer day trips to Virginia City at a reasonable cost.
The
small photos below are links to spots of interest in Virginia
City and clicking on them will take you to a larger photo and
some information about the building or area. The history of Virginia
City is a wordy story I found in a rather interesting booklet
and has been corrected and verified by a local historian. You
can view the pictures randomly, or start with the first one and
