Come enjoy a day at the huge 28 acre Historic Sutro Tunnel Site. Our fantastic tour guides and historians will be onsite to teach you the history of the buildings, equipment and the tunnel. We will also have Randee Rule and the Virginia City Outlaws dressed as miners interacting with the site and Carson Chandler playing music. 

The Friends of Sutro Tunnel are working to preserve this significant part of Nevada’s mining history by restoring the Sutro Tunnel Site. The goal of the project is to not only preserve the site's historical integrity, but to also make it safe and accessible for visitors. Phase One of the project is currently underway with the focus being on ongoing site cleanup and protecting remaining structures from further deterioration. Please park at the Sutro Elementary School, transportation to the site will be provided.
