Tour the Old Mining Town of Virginia City (http://visitvirginiacitynv.com):
Meet in the hotel lobby at the front desk, Wednesday, April 8, 2015 at 10:00 a.m.
Virginia City sprang up as a boom town with the 1859 discovery of the Comstock Lode, the first
major silver deposit discovery in the U.S.. At the peak in the mid 1860's, the population was
estimated at 25,000 residents. The population today is about 855 people. “C” Street, the main
business street, is lined with 1860's and 1870's buildings housing specialty shops of all kinds and
is the largest federally designated historical district in America maintained in its original
condition. We will first visit the Historic Fourth Ward School and museum with a docent-led tour.
The cost is $10.00 for entrance and transportation. Pay when we meet in the lobby (exact
amount for your party is appreciated). After the tour of the school, you can tour the town on
your own.
Please notify Kristen Scholz no later than Wednesday, March 25 if you will attend this tour
and the number of people in your group. Send her an email with the names of those
