I really like this museum. Entrance fee is a very reasonable $3.00. There is a ton of yesteryear exhibits from mining, pictures, clothinbg attire.... There is a very small gift shop when you enter and purchase your ticket. The lady if very friendly as well as her adorable dog.

Lots of artifacts from the area's mine history. Memorabilia such as washing machines that date from the late 1800s, ornate pucke dishes, and mustache coffee cups. The latter was the most interesting. Whoever heard of cups that were designed to protect mustaches?

My wife was the person that wanted to turn over to Virginia City and I was glad we did because this town turned into one of my favourite stops of the vacation. we started in the visitors centre on at the end of the city and walked up the one side, had lunch in the City Cafe and then handmade ice cream on the other side of the town... we stopped in the museum and loved looking at all the artifacts. looking in a few more buildings while we walked back to the vehicle.I would highly recommend putting this town on your road trip route.

The Way It Was Museum is an eclectic collection of artifacts from the 1880s housed in an Old Curiosity Shop atmosphere, and is a welcome change from the touristy glitz of the rest of Virginia City. There’s no hoke or glamour to be found here; it’s more like an undiscovered attic in your grandparents’ (or great-grandparents’) home. You get the feeling that the objects in the cases were really used and handled by the folks of the time before being put on display. Some of the exhibits may catch your attention and some may not, but there are so many, and they’re so varied, that you’re sure to find something to captivate you. There’s nothing of high value or import on display, but instead artifacts that speak of the daily lives and aspirations of the people of the time. It’s well worth the 3-dollar admission price, honestly presenting gritty slices of everyday life in this region from over 120 years ago.

A must to learn about how it all started and ended. Very cool old artifacts and a movie that plays non stop telling about the history of the past. A very cool replica of the galleries under the city shows how people would work and how theres a whole place under there. Very interesting to know how it was!

they had a few neat things, but doesn't take too long to go through everything. Its a one time thing, wont need to go to it again.

One of our favorites in Virginia City. Something for everyone and a great value! Covers all the history of the Comstock Lode an area.

Went here while in virginia city with my wife, cousin, and his wife. It was a cool little look into the history of the area.

There were a number of exhibits we had not seen before but we're very interesting. Dress, room setups, tools, old city pictures, vocational exhibits, etc. the cost was fairly reasonable and the view over to the mines and cemetery were great.

Visited the museum when we were in Virginia City in August. Nice little place with a big water wheel out front. The museum has an entrance fee of $3, but its a good place to get a short history lesson on Virginia City. The city thats way out there up in the mountains about 30 mins drive from Reno. Surprising how people loved out here back in the day. The museum has a lot of history on the mines and mills around. Nice little place to spend an hour.
