Nevada: Carson City

Travelers are almost always surprised when they first see Carson City. It's hard to believe that this little town, with its tree-shaded neighborhoods of Victorian homes and century-old public buildings, isn't a mid-American county seat, somehow transplanted at the base of the Sierra Nevada Range.

Carson City is the state's oldest incorporated city, originally just a crossroads for immigrants heading to California. When one of the West's richest gold and silver strikes was made at nearby Virginia City, it enhanced Carson City's importance.

A natural starting point for a Carson City tour is the State Capitol, located in the center of town.

Because it has long been the seat of power in Nevada, Carson City has a large historic district filled with the homes and buildings of the state's founders.

Carson City also has several notable historic commercial and government buildings, including the former US Mint building. Don't miss the Nevada State Museum or the Nevada State Railroad Museum.
