In the Mark Twain bookstore, Samuel Clemens awaits the next shenanigan he can write about (however, he wasn't this old when he lived in Virginia City). The bookstore is an excellent source of reference materials about the west.

There's even a couple of old churches, and a museum dedicated to the the volunteer firefighter company - the wood buildings, sitting close together, kept the firemen busy, as did the frequent cave-ins of the mines.
