DIRECTIONS →OVERVIEW
Virginia City boomed after the 1863 Alder Gulch strike, one of the richest placer-gold discoveries in the Rockies, and much of the 1860s town survives as a preserved historic district. The Bonanza Inn building served as an early courthouse and later as a hospital run by the Sisters of Charity in the 1870s.
