Virginia City

Virginia City, Nevada is an old western town best known for the discovery of the Comstock Lode silver ore in 1859. Virginia City, with its Virginia City events, attractions, and wild culture honoring its deep roots, is a step back in time any day of the week. Virginia City remains one of Nevada's most popular and historic tourist attractions after all these years. Virginia City is a treasure trove of history just a short drive from Helena, Bozeman, Belgrade and Butte. "Where the Old West lives," as the tagline says, couldn't be more accurate. Virginia City is a great destination for families year-round, but they especially enjoy it in the spring and summer.

Watch the Virginia City Players perform plays and variety shows at the local Opera House for a one-of-a-kind theatrical experience. This type of performance pays homage to Virginia City's roots and is great fun for the whole family. Enjoy half an hour of unique and historic entertainment by taking a Fire Engine City Tour. Alternatively, take the train from Virginia City to Nevada City. Charlie Bovey built the Virginia City Short-Range Railroad in 1964 to connect Virginia City with Nevada City, a mile and a half away. Today, a 20-minute train ride on the Virginia City Shortcut is a great way to enjoy the scenery and learn about the surrounding area.
