This attraction will take you back in time and walk you through the many lifestyles that men and women (which are now depicted as skeletons) of the 1800’s would have had.

This attraction takes anywhere from 5-10 minutes to walk through and is the most fun you’ll have during your time in Virginia City! This attraction is located on the south end of C. Street and the entrance is in the back of Pop's Country Collectibles.
