How can YOU take a "three day trip to Virginia City" and not spend one hour at the most photographed, largest and oldest landmark in the state of Nevada? St. Mary in the Mountains was the "spiritual center" for all the international religions that worked on the Comstock during the Bonanza period and now boasts of a world class museum that displays over 600 precious artifacts, some dating back to the 1300s, the "Dungeon" and the "Mad Monk Wing and Fine Wine Cellar." It is Virginia City's ONLY institution that is open 365 days a year (while the other's close down in the Fall and wait until Spring to open,) And, it's FREE!
