Join them and find out why Nevada is known as the Battle Born state. The Civil War played a very important role in the history of the Silver State; after all, the state motto is “Battle Born!” If it hadn’t been for President Lincoln’s need for Nevada’s votes to become part of the Union, the state could still be part of Utah. There may not have been any famous battles fought here, but trains played a significant role in the war by transporting troops and supplies, making them prime targets for ambushes. These battle re-creations will give you a new perspective on how these epic battles were fought.
As a special treat, The V & T Champagne Battle Train returns for an evening of bubbles and breathtaking views! Join us on Saturday, September 5 at 7:00 PM for a festive Labor Day Weekend ride departing from historic Virginia City, Nevada. Dress in your finest Victorian wear and join the elegant Comstock Civil War Re-enactor ladies as you sip on champagne and enjoy a leisurely ride through the scenic Comstock countryside.
This special event train offers the perfect blend of elegance and old-fashioned charm. Whether you’re celebrating a romantic evening, a special occasion, or just want to toast to the long weekend, the Champagne Train is the place to be.
