Description
Join us for Beautification Day in Virginia City May 6th (new date!) and help preserve Virginia City's history. Sign up to volunteer and help clean, improve, and beautify the Virginia City Historic District. Get your hands a little dirty and feel good knowing you are helping keep one of America's great historic cities maintained, from the historic boardwalks to the legendary buildings.

Thanks to our generous sponsors, the Storey County Chamber of Commerce will provide the necessary paint, flowers, and bins to complete the projects. We're asking our volunteers to bring standard tools, paint brushes, and gloves.
