👀 You’ve heard her name in Virginia City for years… but how much of Julia Bulette’s story was ever really told?
Robin Flinchum’s new book, The Redemption of Julia Bulette, revisits Julia’s 1867 murder on the Comstock and explores possible connections to four unsolved killings in San Francisco years earlier.
More than anything, it’s a deeper look at Julia herself — and the women history too often left behind.

Bagpipes on the Comstock? Yeah, it’s happening 🤠
The Great Basin Scottish Highland Games take over Virginia City June 13–14 for a weekend full of Highland traditions, heavy throws, good food, drinks, and plenty of Scottish spirit.

Girls’ day on the Comstock 💐
Start with coffee. Take your time. Wander a little longer than you planned. Pick up flowers you didn’t come for. Find something you didn’t know you needed. Maybe leave with a candle that reminds you of the day.
It’s giving slow Saturday. It’s giving Comstock charm. It’s giving exactly what we needed.

Today is National Tourism Day 🤠
People come to Virginia City, Nevada for a lot of reasons. The history. The views. The stories. The events. Sometimes, just to wander.
But more often than not, it’s something you didn’t plan for, a place you step into, a moment that sticks, a day that turns into something more.
That’s what keeps people coming back to the Comstock. Come see it for yourself!

In light of National Paranormal Day yesterday… 👀
Virginia City has always had a way of looking a little different depending on who’s behind the lens. Some see the history. Some see the details. And some… catch something a little harder to explain.
