The historic Sutro Tunnel Site is now open with two guided tours per month
You will be given a guided tour by our docents Dan Webster (author Mills along the Carson River) and Pat Neylan (co-curator/docent at St. Mary’s in the Mountain’s Museum in Virginia City and local historian)
Learn the history of Adolph Sutro and how this famous tunnel came to be. You will see historic machinery that has stood the test of time, an electric mule ore cart, the historic buildings of the site, our private lake that is fed from the still running water from the tunnel, the foundation from Adolph's mansion, our museum, plus much more and the iconic Sutro Tunnel Portal.
Historic places like this are fading to time and being pillaged. Thankfully this 28 acre site has been donated to our non profit organization, the Friends of Sutro Tunnel. Because of you, purchasing a ticket and visiting the site. We are able to fund the restoration efforts and soon we will be able to go into the tunnel itself.
Thank you for supporting us, the community and Nevada's history.
Tickets can be purchased on Ticket Tailor here.
