An extensive collection of rare photos, mineral and mining artifacts, maps and costumes reminiscent of the 1860 Comstock days captivates visitors to this museum.

Also on display is a working model and cutaway of a real silver and gold mine. Enjoy a 16-minute video featuring Merlin Olsen and Charlie Jones explaining life on the American Frontier. This is a must-see when you come to this historically rich town. Admission $2.50; under age 11 free with adult.
