Virginia City, Nevada is one of America's largest Historic Landmarks.
Located just south east of Reno, Nevada, this historic mining town is
easily accessible by car from Lake Tahoe, Reno, or Carson City. Some
say Virginia City's rich gold and silver mines financed the Civil War.
Now rich in history, Virginia City and the Comstock Lode still maintain
the flavor of the hifalutin mining days, when Mark Twain roamed the
streets and everybody wanted a piece of the "Richest Place on Earth."
