In 1964, a 1.5 mile railroad line was built; linking Nevada City to Virginia City and a railroad museum was stabled to protect the old railroad equipment. The last building was moved to Nevada City in 1978. "New” buildings were also constructed to display a town that truly represented life in an early Montana settlement. In 1997, the State of Montana purchased the Bovey properties in both Virginia City and Nevada City.

 

Today, the town stands as an outdoor historical museum, with numerous historic buildings, artifacts, and furnishings. Owned by the State of Montana and operated by the Montana Heritage Commission, the old town site provides more than 90 historic buildings from various places around Montana, original Nevada City structures and re-created buildings.

 

The Nevada City Music Hall, which houses the largest public collection of automated music machines in North America, welcomes visitors to the site. The historic building was originally constructed in 1912 as the Recreation Hall at Canyon Lodge in Yellowstone Park.

Across the street is the reconstructed depot and engine house, which features a 1910 Baldwin Steam Locomotive which travels to Virginia City. Original Nevada City buildings include the jail were George Ives was housed, the Fenner Barn, the Star Bakery, the Finney homestead, and Dr. Byam’s home. Byam was the judge at the trial of George Ives. More buildings that have been moved from other locations include the Nevada City Emporium, an 1880s era building that came from Dillon; the Nevada City Hotel, which once housed an 1860’s stage station south of Twin Bridges; Sullivan’s Saddlery which once stood as the Indian Agency at Fort Benton; and dozens of others.

There is an admission fee for entry. Nevada City is about 27 miles southeast of Twin Bridges, Montana on Highway 287.
