Explore the rich geological and cultural history of one of the great mines of the Comstock Lode!

First staked in 1859, Virginia City’s Chollar Mine (later the Chollar-Potosi) was one of the leading producers on the Comstock.

This is an great tour experience. First you go through a low-ceilinged walkway through the mine to about 400 feet in. Then the guide will tell you about the mine and answer questions. Ours was very knowledgeable and was able to tell us a lot about silver mining and the Chollar Mine in particular. Note that they only take cash. You may bump your head on the ceilings but they give you a hard hat and it's not too bad.
Loved it! The tour guide is very knowledgeable and a great story teller, learned alot and had a few laughs! Definitely worth checking out, my 3 year old had a blast! 5 stars
If I could have stayed all day talking to the "Outlaw" I would have. He is such a wealth of knowledge on the history of the mine, mining and the area and just the best stories of his life. Do yourself a favor and check it out
Very enjoyable tour! We learned so much about mining and the history. Recommend this!
Our guide made this a very informative and fun tour. A definitive must while in Virginia city.
