Virginia City, Nevada

April 7th, 2009

Website : Virginia City, NV Website
Description : “The 19th century mining boom turned Virginia City into the most important settlement between Denver and San Francisco; and grubby prospectors into instant millionaires” (source: Website). The town has a working steam engine that takes people on tours of the old mining fields and has kept its old buildings, giving it a Wild West flavor, complete with staged “gunfights.” The newspaper office where Mark Twain edited is open to the public. Good clean European American family fun.
