There is no doubt Virginia City is the best known of the early Nevada mining towns. This is where it all began. There is simply not enough space to properly and adequately describe all that happened in the city that gave birth to the fabulous history of Nevada's gold and silver mining processes. To say there is much to see, appreciate and understand from a visit to Virginia City is an understatement. If one has sufficient interest in what the town has to offer, be prepared to spend some time there. It will be time well spent for Virginia City is neither dead nor abandoned.
