An extensive collection of rare photos, mineral and mining artifacts, maps and costumes reminiscent of the 1860 Comstock days captivates visitors to this museum. Learn how real miners worked, lived and even died in the mines. One exhibit shows a scale model of the hundreds of miles of underground mine shafts beneath Virginia City. Also on display is a working model and cutaway of a real silver and gold mine. Enjoy a 16-minute video featuring Merlin Olsen and Charlie Jones explaining life on the American Frontier. This is a must-see when you come to this historically rich town.
