About Virginia City

Perched in the mountains just outside Reno, Virginia City feels like a living piece of Old West history. The town exploded into a bustling silver capital following the 1859 Comstock Lode discovery, drawing fortune seekers from across the globe. Today, wooden boardwalks, preserved Victorian architecture, and scenic rides on the Virginia & Truckee Railroad give the area its distinctive character. For those looking to settle down here, it offers a small, tight-knit mountain community with breathtaking views, quirky local shops, and easy access to the modern amenities of nearby cities.
