"Go here. So much history I had no idea! 5$! Small but really cool"
"This museum exceeded my expectations. I have been in many small town museums that just feel like an antique store that doesn’t let you touch anything. This place was actually very interesting and had tons of great items, maps and displays. The the one map of the mine shafts and tunnels was particularly mind-boggling. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Virginia City and remember to bring cash for a discount!"
"This was a cool place. Lots of detailed history to see in here. Take your time walking through it since there is a lot crammed into a small space."
"Informative museum, with plenty of local pieces of history. They have a movie playing on loop to give a more in depth lesson on the town's beginnings. They even have some Mark Twain memorabilia. This stop is well worth the $5 a person (kids under 11 are free)."
"A lot of advertising but not so much to see. Of course a lot of interesting stories, models, tools and much more about the mining history. Even a short film, featering Merlin Olsen (Little house in the prairie) about the area and town history. Nice giftshop. Anyway, entrance is only 4 Dollar, so drop in!"
