The Montana Heritage Commission offers visitors the opportunity to rediscover the rich history of Virginia City and Nevada City, Montana. These two towns, located along Alder Gulch, were the site of the largest placer gold strike in the Rocky Mountains, attracting thousands of settlers during the 18th and 19th centuries. Virginia City, once the territorial capital of Montana, became a bustling social center and transportation hub, while Nevada City offers a glimpse into the past with its Old Town Museum and Music Hall. Whether exploring historic accommodations, experiencing train rides, or immersing oneself in living history, the Montana Heritage Commission provides a unique and authentic Old West experience.
