As you walk the streets of Virginia City Nevada today, it's a nice calm stroll, meandering throughout the town, looking in all of the shops and meeting some of the 700 + residence that live here.
But did you know that back in 1875, there were 25,000 full time residence crowding the streets, trying to get a seat at a restaurant or saloon? it was crashing combination of dirty clothed miners and the elite who were moving in from San Francisco because this was " the next big town, where one could make their fortune" .
Shoulder to shoulder, it was a crowded, loud and bustling town that sure seemed like the next big thing! As the silver and gold dwindled, well... so did the population. Now its few residence enjoy a quiet, calm and refreshing town, where you can be alone in the wilderness or meet up with friends in town at the drop of a hat!
