“Fun fact: Vegas isn’t the capital, but that’s OK,” David Peterson, executive director of Visit Carson City, says with a smile. “For those who didn’t know that, we’ll still let them visit!”

For 167 years, Carson City has led Nevada’s growth as the state’s center of government. This historic community has earned an incredible legacy—from its charming downtown to its excellent dining and cultural scene— emerging as one of those places that surprises visitors in the best possible way.

While the capitol building certainly draws many visitors—rightfully so, with its beautiful sandstone façade, exhibits, and interactive museum—the entire city core is a picture-perfect experience, a walkable and bikeable historic downtown, replete with restaurants, shops, and museums. It’s a place to gather for an outdoor concert or just a meal with friends, as well as the place to learn about the state’s history.

Just west of downtown’s Carson Street, you’ll find the Kit Carson Trail, a self-guided audio tour of 48 stops in the city’s historic neighborhoods. Stop in front of the marked buildings and use your cellphone or device to hear fascinating stories—many of which stretch back to the Comstock era. Stops include the former U.S. Mint, the Governor’s Mansion, and the Krebs-Peterson House, where John Wayne’s last movie, “The Shootist,” was filmed.

History may be a powerful lure, but once in town, expect to be dazzled by the amount of public art and cultural events you’ll find. For the past three years, the city has put on a Murals & Music Festival, which invites artists from across the globe to leave their art on Carson City. The nearly weeklong festival includes artist lectures, children’s activities, and while it’s held in the fall, the fruits of the event can be enjoyed yearlong by downloading a map to all the mural locations.

Each October, is a three-day celebration of Nevada’s own bard, featuring art, music, literary events, the Twain Train, and even ghost tours.

Speaking of trains, not only does the Nevada State Railroad Museum host a dazzling display of locomotive history, but you can immerse yourself in some on a historic steam engine. Hop on board the Virginia & Truckee Railway for a journey through time to Virginia City.

Carson’s culture also comes from its storied and sometimes tumultuous past. Given the area’s history predates statehood even, it’s no wonder there are spectral tales all over the town. The city’s ghost walks are a particularly popular event which have been going on for more than 30 years, and the tales of the historic homes and families that once lived in Carson bring the past to life in an engaging and sometimes surreal way.

If you’re seriously into haunted happenings, do not miss the Historic Nevada State Prison tours. You can choose from general day tours to learn about the prison that operated from 1862 to 2012, or take the spookier paranormal ghost walk. Either way, it’s an experience you won’t soon forget.

Not only is Carson City nestled in one of the most beautiful valleys in the state, it’s the basecamp for all the legendary adventures at Lake Tahoe, just 25 minutes away. From snow skiing to water sports, hiking to biking, Lake Tahoe’s reputation as an outdoor paradise is well deserved. You’re also just minutes from the recreation offerings of nearby Reno and Carson Valley.

Adventure seekers have no need to leave town if they don’t wish to, however. You can kayak along the bucolic Carson River, mountain bike along the Ash Canyon to Kings Canyon trail, or tee up at one of the area’s nine golf courses. Skate parks, fishing ponds, swimming pools, and city parks abound in this charming town, too, so whatever slice of the great outdoors calls to you, Carson City aims to please.

With all it has to offer, Peterson notes it’s no surprise this charming and fascinating town is one of the most visited places in the state.

“We’ve got the best of Nevada here—the rich history, great food, and an arts and culture scene that rivals much bigger cities,” he says.
