What’s your favorite thing to do in Carson City, Nevada? This historic city dates back to the Gold Rush days of the 1850s when it was built as a stopover point for prospectors heading to California in search of gold. But it wasn’t long before the largest silver find in history was uncovered in the hills outside Carson City and it became a hub of its own. When Nevada became a state in 1864, Carson City was named as the state's capital, so it's got over 160 years of history waiting for you.
