We also took Lori and Grandma up to historic Virginia City, another very cool attraction nearby. Virginia City was a mining boom-town established in the 1800's and preserved for us to experience.
I guess some people took their losses pretty hard.
Mark Twain was "born" in Virginia City, as it is the place in which Samuel Clemens first began using his pen name.
The boys like the name of the saloon pictured below.
This monument was built to commemorate the Comstock Load and contains ore from every Nevada county.
We witnessed a hold-up at the visitors' center.
The boys love the "Barrels of Candy" store.
St. Mary's in the Mountains Catholic Church is very impressive.
When we drove into Virginia City for the first time, I was really amazed that it was there.
