comstock history center

Less than what I expected (given the size of the building). However, it's also inexpensive. And you can see a wonderfully restored locomotive (Number 18, I named my rental car after it!) and some photographs/diagrams of the Comstock Lode and mining activities. The day I visited Virginia City had its 50th annual camel race, so the place was empty, I had it all to myself. If restored locomotives don't excite you (!) skip it, even if it's free.
