This was one of the best museums to date we've been to. The mining exhibit was so cool, never seen anything like it before in a museum. They dug out a good portion of the basement and made it look like a working 1800s mine,...Read More

This place is an absolute gem! We were traveling through the area and decided to take in the mint demonstration of coin stamping. It was amazing! The two volunteers were so knowledgeable and it was incredible to see history like this take place again....Read More

Highly recommend visiting this museum in Carson City. I haven’t been for probably almost 30 years. They purchased a bank next to the original building and built an extraordinary mostly glass building that connects the two. All of the fantastic displays I remember from years...Read More

My wife and I were driving through Carson City and found this museum and I'm so glad we did! There were so many amazing exhibits including an underground mine re-creation. And for the price of admission being $10 its a no brainer.

I like museums but they aren’t the best with kids who get board easily. However this museum turned the experience into a scavenger hunt. An when the kids got done they got a prize! Made for a fun adventure.
