Sutro, Nevada was a company town built around Adolph Sutro‘s ambitious four-mile tunnel project in the 1860s-1870s. You’ll find it nestled in Storey County, where it once supported the famous Comstock Lode silver mining operations. During its peak, nearly 900 residents enjoyed Victorian buildings, four parks, and a vibrant community life centered around the tunnel’s construction. Today, you can explore the first 50 feet of this engineering marvel and discover preserved structures that tell a remarkable tale of innovation and perseverance.
