Really disappointed to see all is closed: open air museum, tourist information. Not worth the visit in this time of year.

Lots of things to see and explore, re-en actions and dramas during the time period. There is always something going on like time period cooking, games etc. The walk is easy enough for little kidos but a stroller would do you good too.

Enjoyed exploring around this little restored town. Buildings have been redone and some are still in the process of being renovated. Liked the combo of the two. Would have been neat to go inside some of the homes that had been redone, instead of just looking in from the outside. Definitely worth the small fee to go through the little museum. BTW, don't miss the two story outhouse at the NV City Hotel.

The museum was cool and we loved the gold panning. The bakery was cool to go to chat with the ladies but the baked good left a little to be desired. They were dry and not very tasty.

History, real old buildings, many with interesting stories. Great little bakery/cafe in town. Train was not operational the days we visited. DO pan for gold. We did not get rich, but after finding the 1st fleck of gold, we really felt that anytime soon we would find a real big nugget (just like buying lottery tickets)

After visiting Virginia City down the road, we stopped off for a wander around this historical 'town' with old buildings collected & being added to the original town from around the whole of Montana. It was very quiet, so we were able to enjoy the place at our leisure. I imagine it would take on a life of its own in the height of the tourist season. There is a rich history to the area, so a visit to the Virginia City Tourist Office first, would be helpful, to give you a better idea of the history behind Nevada City. There is a bit of railway history, for railway enthusiasts. It's quite a small place, so it won't take up much time to see.

Visited here after a morning in Virginia City just a few miles away. The railway between the two towns wasn't running so we drove down and I'm glad we did as you need plenty of time to look around the town and the reconstructed buildings in the museum area. Lots of old waggons, mining equipment and railway carriages to look at as well as musical equipment including organs and mechanised pianos that still work. Had a great meal in the bakery here. Well worth a visit.

This is a great place with a neat story of a mans dream to preserve a wonderful ghost town in Montana. This town has great volunteers with knowledge and skills of our history in the past and you can have a hands on experience of the way people lived in the 1860's. I would make the suggestion of while visiting this town that you look up the Star Bakery for some of the best cookies, pies, and other wonderful desserts that are prepared right in front of your eyes. This is a great place and has a sister ghost town right up the street about a mile called Virginia City. These cities were part of the Gold mining in the 1800's and gold is still be mined today. Stop and visit - - you will love it!!! Good friendly people!!!

The Nevada City museum is a stunning museum, unexpected in a small town. The depth of inventory/details in their collections is impressive. Once volunteer stated that is was second only to the Smithsonian in many of their display areas. A near complete settlement with volunteers which seem to live their parts. A pleasant surprise was the personal musical collection located at the entry.

I love the old buildings and being able to look inside and take pictures. The 2 story outhouse is the best.

If you are into old west building and the feel of an old west town, this would be a great destination for you. Our trip took us here during the week, but I understand that on the weekends, during their high season, the buildings are taken over with people. Lunch is actually served at one of their buildings and other buildings are actually in use during this time.There is a wonderful "museum" inside with carnival type machinery that is great.Across the street from the "town" is a train depot. If you are visiting Virginia City first, you can pay for a round trip ticket on the train, if it is running. It wasn't on our visit.We spent several hours visiting the "town" and there was only a few folks coming in when we left.Great place to visit, but it is off the beaten path. Recommend if you are into history or just old building.

We had stopped by Nevada City many time when I was kid, never took the tour or really went much pass the Nevada City Music Hall. This time, we took the time to really enjoy all that was offered. Old player pianos and novelty music machines must be seen. We enjoyed the living history. The family baking apple pies on the wood oven on a very hot July day, was a great example of how life use to be. The entry fee was very reasonable and we spent over two hours looking things over. This is a great stop , with or without kids.

I had been to Nevada City several times before, and was disappointed that I could no longer take a self-guidfed tour. Now it costs to get in, you have to take a tour with a guide, and for those of us who have been there previously most of the fun is gone. I understand it has been bought by the state.

I can't believe I grew up in Montana and never went to Nevada City. Seems we just stayed in Virginia City with is only 2 miles away. They have put together an amazing miner's town based on historical facts and real buildings. They perform a living history every weekend through the summer. Each of the buildings had real characters from the past. The volunteers stayed in character and really involved any person who came into the room by giving them lots of information about what they are doing. I loved the small cabin with two girls cooking using the real stove and process. Very impressive.
