Carson City

Recenter Map To This Location

A memorable outing from Tahoe is a day trip to Nevada’s silver towns, Virginia City and Carson City. Carson City is the state capital. The town itself has little of interest except for the Nevada State Museum, just across the street from the Nugget Casino on the main road (open 8:30 am to 4:30 pm daily). The highlight of the museum is the re-created silver mine in the basement. You walk along rail car lines in semi-darkness, past exhibits of miners at work and mine machinery—a lot safer than going down a working mine. (775-687-4810)
