Trip to authentic Virginia City Montana

We took a trip to an authentic western town (buildings were original from the the 1800's). On the way, we saw the effects of an earthquake in 1959 that toppled the side of a hill and dammed up a river to form 'Quake' Lake. On the way back, we saw some panoramic views of the mountains.

I would love to live in Montana, mostly because that's my name, but ever since I found out that had a town that looked like a western movie, I have been wanted to get married there

It's creepy how you can see the curvature of earth in the sky even on this video. I'd like to visit.

Virginia City is a spectacular ghost town. One of the best I have ever visited; and I have visited quite a number of ghost towns.

thanks for your note. I currently have a full staff. Generally, staffing in VC gets difficult in the Fall when the kids go back to school. Give us a try then.

Mark,

I'm seriously thinking about moving to VC. My wife still wants to work if we decide to make the move. Any jobs? What kind?

Thanks for posting!  This is my favorite part of Montana. It wouldn't be summer if we didn't go this way every time. Virginia City is the best place to visit. We always take in the Virginia City Players. Thanks for posting!
