Virginia City

Visit Montana's Living Ghost Town!

Virginia City, Montana is a ghost town that truly comes to life during the summer! While in town, explore the boardwalk, catch a live performance, stroll through Cousin's Candy Shop, experience living history at the Nevada City Museum, and grab a bite to eat. As with any gold rush town, Virginia City experienced its share of lawlessness, was home to some colorful characters, and forever left its mark on the country. As they say, “some folks made a fortune here, but what they left behind was priceless.”
