See Piper’s Opera House where Lilly Langtree, Maude Adams, Edwin Booth and Lotta Crabtree performed for the miners and elite.

See history unfold before your eyes as you walk the boardwalks, ride the Virginia and Truckee railroad or stroll through the buildings, mansions, streets of this once greatest and largest city in Nevada.

See the wealth and opulence of a by-gone era in the Castle, Delta Saloon, Mackay Mansion, Savage mansion, and many more.
