Lori in Virginia City 2014


In 2014, shortly after we moved to Reno, Nevada, Lori, and I visited Virginia City, southeast of Reno

It is home to Victorian structures built during a 19th-century mining boom. 

These include the haunted Washoe Club and stately Piper’s Opera House

Collections at The Way It Was Museum feature mining artifacts and maps. 

Fourth Ward School Museum has an 1876 classroom and history displays. 

Silver ore and rock drills are among the exhibits at Chollar Mine.
