Great view and nice historic place to experience. There are also great places to grab a bite to eat or drink within walking distance from the museum/school.

It is amazing what the big money of that time bought. Even today the school building impresses.

This was well worth the 11.00 it cost to get in. For a small town nonprofit organization it was extremely well done. They had history of the school and area. The section on the Comstock mine was was very informative. All I can say is go.

It gets a 5 because it was the public school of Virginia City for over a century and it is still standing and functions as a museum of the crazy amazing history and engineering feats and technology and tenacity born of the motherload.
