Caves which feature beautiful stalagmite and stalactite formations.

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.

Most Nevadans don’t spend time in Fallon. It’s on the road between Reno and Las Vegas, but is a treasure for a couple of reasons: Hearts of Gold cantaloupes (available around Labor Day) and Frey Ranch Distillery. I had learned about the Distillery in November 2016, at a charity food and beverage show in Reno, received a generous offer from Russ (distiller) to come and visit when my travels between Reno and Las Vegas brought me by the Ranch, and finally made the trip from Reno to Fallon to take the tour and sample crafted beverages on 9/30. From the moment we arrived, Andy (distiller) treated us like we were his lost family members, proudly showing us the distilling equipment, sage bushes out front used to make their special Nevada gin, the barrel house where some different gin is barrel finished and where future releases of their estate bourbon is now aging. He gave us a walking tour of the operation, explaining sourcing of grains and natural flavoring, fate of spent grains/mash, and their “green approach.” This wasn’t a big factory tour, but a truly insiders experience for just 2 of us, alone with Andy. After learning about the production of their unique spirits we were invited to sample estate wines (2 whites and 1 red) and spirits (vodka, 2 gins, brandy and absinthe). Our hostess, Ashley (Ashley and her husband operate the ranch and live in the “big house”) explained each beverage we sampled, and offered tasting notes. She gave us an overview of future plans and new products becoming available in the coming year. Because I mentioned that I knew they made gin with pine nuts for another label, she “revealed” that she did have some bottles onsite if I wanted it. Wow! Nearby Lattin Farms provided a final stop on my way back to Reno, so my car returned loaded with Fallon melons, squash, wine and spirits. Many thanks to Andy and Ashley, they were gracious and informative.
4. Eureka Opera House

This recently restored structure dates from the 1880s.
Reviewed By DoughertySean - Las Vegas, United States
A classic opera house that has been a working entertainment venue since the 1800s. It was a vaudeville theater, a movie theater and now a live performance theater (they also host bingo nights). We had a great experience because the woman who works there showed us the whole building - back of the stage, the lower level, the balcony and projection room - and gave us the history at the same time. We particularly appreciated her taking so much time with us given that the place was scheduled to close for lunch just after we arrived. The house is beautiful, highlighted by a reproduction of its old time vaudeville curtain that was recreated based on a photograph by a design firm in Minnesota. Definitely a stop if you are in Eureka.

Located on the site of what was once Eureka's local newspaper headquarters, the County Historical Society Museum preserves the old printing presses and also serves as the town's visitor information center.
6. Nevada Northern Railway Museum
Overall Ratings

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.

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.

This place is bigger than it looks from the outside. One of the featured artifacts on display is an Ice Age short-faced bear skeleton that was found in White Pine County, but the museum also exhibits artifacts from more recent history of White Pine County, which has a long history of mining.
