This is a great introduction to the historic Virginia City. Make this your starting point and you will be a head of the game! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable.

Good overview, lots of things to see, not all labeled well, but it gives you an idea of mines and great model of all the mines and shafts under the city.

A lot of advertising but not so much to see. Of course a lot of interesting stories, models, tools and much more about the mining history. Even a short film, featering Merlin Olsen (Little house in the prairie) about the area and town history. Nice giftshop. Anyway, entrance is only 4 Dollar, so drop in!

Small little museum with some cool stories and artifacts from the silver and gold mines that once made Virginia City the richest place on earth. That is a good short video that tells of some history of the town, and highlights that this was the place where Mark Twain got his start writing.
