Step Back in Time: A Walking Tour of Virginia City’s Historic Landmarks

Travel back to the 19th century with a visit to Virginia City, located 30 minutes outside of Reno. Once a booming mining town, Virginia City has preserved much of its original charm with wooden sidewalks and no commercial businesses in the city limits.

Virginia City Walking Tour

Start at the Virginia & Truckee Railroad Depot, where you can imagine the hustle and bustle of a bygone era. Stroll along C Street, the main thoroughfare, lined with historic saloons, shops, and museums. Visit the Mark Twain Museum at the Territorial Enterprise, where the famed author began his writing career.

The wooden sidewalks and period architecture transport you to a time when Virginia City was at the heart of the Silver Rush.  Take a tour of an old Silver Mine.  There are year-round attractions in Virginia City including 8 Annual Parades, Hot August Nights, Camel and Ostrich Races, and so many more, see the event brochure here >

I think Dr. Who might be visiting Virginia City 🙂

Virginia City Drive Through Town

As you drive through this town, its strange that all the modern cars are parked along the road. You feel like you should be riding a horse or heading down the street in a horse drawn carriage.
