We're working to preserve this significant part of Nevada’s mining history by restoring the Sutro Tunnel & Site in Dayton, NV. 

The Friends of Sutro Tunnel Charity is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that is dedicated to restoring the Sutro Tunnel & Site and educating the public about this unique landmark of Comstock & American History. 

The proceeds from your event & tour tickets go directly to our efforts to restore the Sutro Tunnel and surrounding site.

What to Expect

The Sutro Tunnel Historic Site is an outdoor historic attraction located in the Nevada desert. Visitors should expect uneven terrain, dirt roads, and varying weather conditions throughout the year. Comfortable walking shoes, sun protection, and water are strongly recommended, especially during the summer months.
