We took the full 90 minute tour. Great tour guide. The walk was not difficult at all. There are stairs, and a few places where even I, at 5 feet, had to bend low in order not to bang my head. It's a cool 50 degrees, you need a light weight jacket. Bring a camera, you will love this tour.

Museum on former site of Ward, a small mining town.

The Ward Charcoal Ovens was on my Nevada bucket list. Exploring them lived up to my expectations. The history of these well built structures is fascinating. One tip:when heading south on route 50, take the second turn (look for the official park sign) to drive 7 miles on a dirt road to the site. What a cool place to visit!

It’s great to reconnect with your nature inner spirit. This was the back entrance. We eventually found the right entrance.
5. Nevada Northern Railway Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 428 reviews
The Nevada Northern Railway is a non-profit historical foundation whose mission is to maintain and operate what has been acclaimed as the best-preserved railroad facility in the United States. Come, enjoy history with us! We offer 90-minute train rides up toward the historic Ruth Copper Mine, as well as a view into the history of what put this mining town on the map. Don't miss the included tour of the Engine House and yard after the train ride. You can see the facility that has been servicing these steam locomotives for over a century now. For the serious railfan, we offer the opportunity to be at the throttle (and brakes!) Of a real, standard-gauge, steam locomotive on your own private run "up the hill." Covid-19: Masks are required to ride the train and while inside buildings.

Remote location with plenty of history. Suggest making more than a daytrip of it. Bring your camping gear for there is a nice campground. Wander around the ghost town, take a tour of the mine if it is open and by all means go check out the Ichthyosaur fossils. Really cool location in remote Nevada.

Lots to see in this very large small-town museum. Truly - it is one of our favorite places to visit, and the displays are well prepared and interesting. Love this place.

Reviewed By 4cents-worth - Grants Pass, United States
The U.S. Navy still trains it’s pilots at this facility to be better pilots like in the Top Gun movie. The static display of the airplanes was excellent and enhanced by our tour guide who did a superb job. Our visit included photos of our car club with the jets, plus a tour of the old control tower with a spectacular view of the base.
