If you ever get the chance to go to Carson City, Nevada, then go to the state museum. It's just a few blocks north of the Capitol building.
All the Carson City Mint stuff is there and they have a complete collection of every coin (gold and silver) ever minted in ol' CC. The coins are in a safe and behind bars, but you can still see them. Neat stuff.
It amazed me how such a little town held such a wealth of history. One might think that the big cities hold that ace, but the older I get, the more I realize that the real work is done in the little towns.
Virginia City and the silver mine are next. I'll drag my kids along with me for that one. Road trip!!
