Museum of Memories

Edith Giles Barcus Family Photograph Collection

The Museum of Memories in Virginia City. The museum was directly to the left of the Old Washoe Club, which is the brick building to the right. This wooden building burned in June of 1950, along with the Marye Building that was located behind it. The Old Washoe Club survived the fire. This was not the only location of the Museum of Memories; it moved around. It was located in the Pinschower Building for a time as well as next door to the Bucket of Blood.

The Virginia City Post Office is on this site now.
