Silver State Peace Officers Museum

The museum features special exhibits on law 
enforcement in Virginia City.  We also feature 
exhibits on Nevada law enforcement dating back to 
the 1860s.  Our collections include exceptional 
exhibits on policing the United States with items 
dating back as far as the 1780s.  Needless to say, we believe 
that our exhibits provide and education into the evolution of
 the law enforcement profession.  In addition we maintain 
many artifacts from the gangster days.
