1800's Colorized Photo Of Virginia City Looking North
Virginia City Silent Riders was founded in 2018 and became a 501(c)(4) in 2023 by a group of passionate historians and preservationists who saw a need for a more comprehensive approach to historical preservation. Since then, we have worked on numerous projects across the county. You can find Silent Riders walking the boardwalk, helping make visitors stay, a much more memorable one.
