Virginia City Area Chamber of Commerce

Virginia City has been referred to by the National Park Service as the most well preserved placer mining town of the gold rush era in the American West. Virginia City has tourist attractions to offer, such as in historic tours, old west photo gallery, melodrama theater, vaudeville follies and great shopping. Historic preservation is evident here and in Nevada City, and touring these historic towns can take you back into the Victorian era, where people from all walks of life converged to chase the illusive gold dust. Walk the historic boardwalks and relive the past.
