We visit often. We spend a lot of time in the cemetery. You will fell the history there. Slow down and look around. Look at the hills and the old buildings and remember how it was back if their day.

Go no wonder Pepole are leaveing California by the hundreds if not thousends....................from whrat i hear with excessive regulations due to attempts to combat cliemate change , over priced houseing, allmost constent racial tenshion, illiegal immagration and other high costs CA sounds like a real shitty place to live.........................i have allso herd that from former Ca. residents. Personally i do not know why anybody would want to live in CA. And New Yourk City there as well.

[@e.jenima7263]

oh not to mention constent wild fires, riots, and earthqwuakes, CA. seems to be a state allmost solely for the rich not the middle class like it used to be 45 - 80 years ago. CA . is the shame of the Union with the amount of Homeless.

8:00. This old guy is so arrogant it's ruined this documentary for me.

[@jeffhildreth9244]

Fully agree. He is not what either Virginia City, or Nevada is all about. As a resident of Winnemucca,. I first visited Virginia City in 1954 My father retired there in the mid 80s. He owned a famous building where he had an antique store on the lower floor and lived above it. He owned a vacant lot , previous site of a brothel. As a long time architect, civil engineer, and horticulturist he restored it as a community park complete with a covered bandstand. He invited one and all to use it and the second story meeting hall, which he also restored. He was also the chief honcho of the local charter of the Nevada Historical Society. RIP 1989. PS, Just my opinion: The "new" Virginia City is a cartoon of its former self.
