One of the most fascinating mining towns in the country, Virginia City's story is legendary. Home to the television show "Bonanza" and the Cartwrights it's true story is part of the old west. Anyone who was anyone went to Virginia City and in the 1870s, at the height of the Big Bonanza (as it was called) it was where fortunes were made.....by a few. If you're ever near Reno or Lake Tahoe be sure to take the time to visit Virginia City...where the old west still ives!
