  Great spot to get the history of the Comstock. Stop in. Donate to the locals. Expand your experience and knowledge. The 3D tunnel model is a mind blowing visualization. I had no idea the scale of operations that once occurred under the ground there. Helps you appreciate how easy we have it today. This place is on my recommend list.

  Gotta love the way it was, all the history and stories in this place are way cool Best of all its worth the couple bucks to get in so overall the museum is way cool. The older lady that works there however, not so cool. I have been there a couple times and she has never been pleasant to me, she'll take a look at you a d if you dont fit that good ole boy mold she treats you like your trying to steal everything not nailed down and I'm not the only one. I think she's one of the owners.
