Virginia City Live Cam

In 1859, the mountains around Virginia City were found to conceal great wealth. The city held the attention of the world with its mining industry for more than half a century, pouring over $700 million in gold and silver into an ever-expanding nation. Stroll along C Street’s historic boardwalks to step back in time. Shops, museums, mine tours, Old West saloons, and the railroad are still “the way it was”. Fourth Ward School Museum, Piper’s Opera House, St. Mary’s Art Center, the Silver Terrace Cemetery and many other 1800’s structures speak eloquently of limitless wealth.
