Carson City Nevada - State Capital and Nevada State Museum - 2025

When Nevada became the 36th state in 1864 during the American Civil War (1861-1865), Carson City was confirmed as Nevada's permanent state capital. Carson City's development was no longer dependent on the mining industry and instead became a thriving commercial center.

The Virginia and Truckee Railroad was built between Virginia City and Carson City. A log flume was also built from the Sierra Nevada mountains range into Carson City. The current Nevada State Capitol building was constructed from 1869 to 1871. The United States Mint also operated its branch of the Carson City Mint between the years of 1870 and 1893, which struck gold and silver coins of United States currency.

The Nevada State Museum in Carson City features exhibits on Nevada's mining history, including a replicated mining town and an underground mine tour. The museum is housed in the former Carson City Mint and is one of seven Nevada State Museums operated by the Nevada Department of Tourism and Cultural Affairs.

The museum's mining exhibits allow visitors to explore the timeline of Nevada's mining history, showcasing the skills and tools used by miners and the impact of mining on the state's development.

Carson City is a great town and a lot of fun to explore.
