Candace Wheeler talk on Comstock Cemeteries
2017-11-16 17:30 - 20:30 UTC
Candace Wheeler continues our lecture series tonight with a talk about the Comstock Cemeteries.
Candace Wheeler has been the executive director for the Comstock Cemetery Foundation for nearly 20 years. She is a Historical Geographer and the subject of her thesis was the Silver Terrace cemeteries in Virginia City. Candace will provide a different perspective on our relationship with cemeteries and historic landscapes and provide a better understanding of the role of “sense of place” in their development.
Cemeteries, studied, analyzed, and experienced, touch the human senses and convey a sense of place for both the past and the present. For the Silver Terrace cemeteries the evolution from cemetery for the mourner to a tourist destination has been a 150 year, sixty-five-acre, human tale of interaction with a regional cemetery landscape.
Analyzing cemeteries plays an integral role in increasing our knowledge and understanding of the thoughts, feelings, ideas, and value systems of people who interacted with the landscapes of the past. Understanding how landscapes were created and how they evolved is the story of our relationship with the land and with death.
November 16th at 7:00 PM. It will be an interesting evening! Discover the Comstock Cemeteries! See sign up form below:
Please note that we have only 50 total seats for people to see the lecture. Due to the crazy interest in the lecture series, and the fact that we are selling out each week, we will have to closely monitor the sign ups for this lecture series.
There are 30 spots available for people attending dinner and the lecture.

Lecture Tonight! The SS Central America Treasure - by Fred Holabird
2017-11-09 17:30 - 20:30 UTC
Fred Holabird continues our lecture series tonight with a talk about the SS Central America Treasure.
The most famous wreck of the nineteenth century was the SS Central America, loaded with $3 million in gold from the California gold rush in 1857.
Located in the 1990’s by high-tech engineers at a depth of 8,000 feet, a major portion was recovered. A decade of law suits followed, culminating in the sale of the gold. Fifteen years later, a second round was recovered, little known to the public.
Fred Holabird has been one of the key components to the treasure story since late 1999. He worked for the Federal Court, the Insurance companies, and the investors to unravel mysteries of the wreck, cargo and people on board.
Fred Holabird is a mining geologist (64). He spent the first half of his career in exploration and production of precious metals here in Nevada, managing two open pit gold companies. He created Holabird’s Western Americana, specializing in Mining in America, in 1983 as a second business. Today it is the largest auction company of Western Americana in the United States. Holabird remains very active in the mining business, consulting on production, management and environmental issues regularly.
November 9th at 7:00 PM. It will be an interesting evening! Discover the little known facts. See sign up form below:

Lecture tonight! Pam Abercrombie – The History of Nevada Indian Tribes: The Numu, Newe, Nuwu, and Wa She Shu
2017-11-02 17:30 - 20:30 UTC
Pamela Abercrombie continues our lecture series tonight with a talk about the History of Nevada Indian Tribes: The Numu, Newe, Nuwu, and Wa She Shu.
Pam will be giving an overview of the American Indians across the nation and the indigenous tribes of Nevada. Focus will be on the Northern Paiute, including the lands of the Comstock and surrounding areas as far as the California/Nevada border to the west.
Pam Abercrombie, before coming to the Comstock, worked on a rural Nevada Indian Tribe reservation for about eight years. Her love for history led her down a path of research on the indigenous people of Nevada. She spent three years studying our local tribes, in addition to federal/tribal relations and tribal nations across the United States, learning from non cross-cultural resources; therefore gaining knowledge from the American Indian’s perspective on North America and the United States.

Discover the history, interesting facts and information about the way of life of the Nevada Indians before the arrival of the white European settlers and colonists.
Pamela Abercrombie is the Executive Director of the Comstock Historical Foundation. She has developed a career in the nonprofit field the past 14 years, serving youth and families. She began as a program coordinator for a youth-serving organization in Dayton, transitioned to the Education Director for the Yerington Paiute Tribe where she became a self-taught administrator, and then after earning a Master’s in Public Administration fell in love with Virginia City and tourism. With an undergrad in history from the University of Nevada, Reno and a passion for history, becoming the director for the Foundation is a perfect fit.
November 2nd at 7:00 PM. It will be an exciting evening! See sign up form below:
Please note that we have only 50 total seats for people to see the lecture. Due to the crazy interest in the lecture series, and the fact that we are selling out each week, we will have to closely monitor the sign ups for this lecture series.

Ghost Tour Tonight at Gold Hill Hotel - Bat's in the Belfry!
2017-10-30 19:00 - 21:00 UTC
Enjoy a wonderful dinner at the Crown Point restaurant at the Gold Hill Hotel at 7 p.m. and then take a ghostly ghost tour of the haunted rooms at the Gold Hill Hotel at 8 p.m. $40 for both dinner and the tour! Tours run by the pros at “Bat’s in the Belfry” ghost tours in Virginia City! Please call 775-815-1050 to sign up for the dinner and tour.
This ghost tour features some of the most haunted rooms at the Gold Hill Hotel, as featured twice in the “Ghost Hunters” TV program.
Here are some reviews of some people that have been on the “Bat’s in the Belfry” ghost tours. This is what people say about the tour:
Lots of fun tour guides interesting
We went to Virginia City over Halloween to look for ghosts. Did both the ghost hunt and paranormal investigation. The crew was fun and knowledgeable. We visited several spots on the hunt and two locations on the investigation. I would say this is a must do even if you are a skeptic there is no judgment either way with this group. Since you are trying to locate and communicate with those who have passed little ones are not a good idea but adult adventure all the way. Thanks for the good time.
Fun & Interesting
This tour was quite fun & quite interesting, so much so it seemed like it was over in a flash.
Due to brutally cold weather, complete with accompanying nasty winds, we didn’t get to do much outside, but that may have actually worked in our favor because in lieu of that we got to do a lot of work upstairs in the Silver Queen with a bonus of doing an extensive flashlight tour of the upper floors in the Washoe Club.
The tour folks provide a select # of electronic instruments for you to help look for electronic abnormalities so if you’re lucky enough to get one it’s really cool! They also had a K2 meter which they operated & it did go off a few times during our walking around. Some tour patrons had their own electronic ghost detecting gear, which the use of was fully supported by the tour folks.
I highly recommend this tour for the price it was well worth the hour or so of our time. Would do it again (hopefully in the summer next time).
The ghost tour was fantastic. Parts of Virginia City that I never knew existed!
We hired Debbie and her crew for our annual Victorian Steampunk Ball in Virginia City. Our group was almost 50 people strong so we had two groups for the tour. The information and history was fantastic. Loved the fact that the tour participants get to carry EMF detectors. We even got to meet Cassandra the girl ghost. She set off our devices. Highly recommend this tour and our group seconds that opinion. Thank you so much Debbie. Don’t miss this one.
