Virginia City to embrace its mining roots

To honor Virginia City’s mining heritage, the town celebrates with Muckfest: Mining, Whiskey & Cigars.

A full day of activities is scheduled in the Mining Village at the Delta parking lot, including mining demonstrations and exhibits. In the Whiskey & Cigar Lounge, study the old West’s favorite libations by sampling more than 20 whiskeys.

Bring the kids to learn about the mining and reclamation process at the cookie mining station or take them to Virginia City Mining Company where they can test their luck panning for gold or gems.

The event is June 13 from 10am-5pm.
