Virginia City, Nevada is a place where people were led to riches or sometimes to their death in search of silver and gold in the seemingly endless mines. This mining community eventually became known as the Comstockers due to their search for Comstock silver in the area. The once dynamic city today is a popular spot for tourists looking to step back into the past, offering a variety of things to do in the city that reach beyond Virginia City’s mining heritage, such as breweries, museums, art centers, and more.
