VIRGINIA CITY, Nev. - The Luck of the Irish Mystery Train is coming back to the Virginia Truckee Railroad, and this time it’s a Miner Murder! Get ready for some interactive fun on Saturday, March 16, and help solve a mystery.
History tells us that the Miners of the Comstock were a rough and tumble group, hard at work underground mining for gold during the day and carousing at the Virginia City bars at night. Someone was bound to get murdered, and you get to help us find out “who done it”!
Travel in comfort on one of the Virginia & Truckee Railroad's authentic turn-of-the-century passenger cars as you ride through the Comstock mining district to Gold Hill, Nevada. The Fun Time Theater Company will present the clues and the suspects. As you work to solve the mystery you will be served a choice of Irish-themed beer, white wine, or soft drinks and tasty snacks.
Plan to be in Virginia City early for the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade and then enjoy dining and shopping in town before heading down to the depot. Trains depart at 2:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. from the original 1870 depot at 166 F Street, Virginia City. Tickets are $56 per person and reservations are available at virginiatruckee.com.
The leprechauns will be waitin’ for ya, so get your tickets soon!
