Historic Sutro Tunnel between Virginia City & Dayton Nevada

Join Jeff and Sarah as they tour the historic Sutro Tunnel site, the connection between Virginia City mines and a location 3.88 miles away in Dayton, Nevada. Many of the buildings dating back to the 19th century are still standing.

The Sutro Tunnel was conceived by Adolph Sutro, who later gained fame as the wealthy businessman who became mayor and built the Sutro Baths and the second Cliff House which were both ruined by separate fires.

Please check out the Dayton video mentioned in the first part of this video. At the end of that you can see that we attempted to enter the property in 2021 but decided against trespassing.

Please also check out our other numerous videos under the video tab.

Thank you Jeff and Sarah from all of us with the Friends of Sutro Tunnel. This video and the others like it that you do help to bring attention to these historic locations and in turn help to bring supporters, volunteers and donors. None of our restoration efforts would be possible without help. Hopefully we can have you out again in the near future to go into the tunnel, once its made safe.

Enjoy Sarah's comments and questions regarding mules and horses, reflecting her admirable and continuous concern about the treatment of animals.

I can tell the guy that manages the Sutro site is super passionate about what he does. He's so knowledgeable about everything, and I was captivated watching the entire video. Thank you for preserving this part of American History!

Virginia City is mine and my wife’s favorite place to go. We live in Washington state and once a year we make a trip down there. Amazing history and even better drinks and any of the bars 🍻

Since childhood this place fascinated me. I have stopped and used the binocs to stare and imagine how it was in it's day. Even tracked the mine vents while traveling on the Six Mile road down the mountain. Thank you for the wonderful tour!

At least this man is getting publicity about the place. I love watching old things because you always have the pictures. This make story more interesting.

My grandpa was the first constable of Dayton Nevada in the 1960’s and he and my dad would drink at the Sutro Saloon back in the 1960’s and my grandpa would even perform with his guitar and sing. His name was Rocky Adamson. Great video. Takes me back to when I was growing up in the 80’s and riding dirt bikes around there.

Nothing better than waking up to another amazing video thank you 🙏 😀👍

[HollywoodGraham]

Super glad they invited you back for more Sutro tour. I am amazed at the accomplishments of the miners, engineers and any other trade that built the tunnel. Thanks for another history lesson....Maybe next time you can go inside and Sarah can go feed the wild horses.

I have been waiting for this video and you knocked it out of the park! This is one of the best documentaries on the Sutro Tunnel I’ve seen. I’m glad you were able to see the inside of some of the outbuildings as well. When I visited the in March, many of them were not able to be viewed because much cleanup was needed. The volunteers have done such a great job helping to restore the site. These last couple years, many of the historic buildings in Reno have been demolished in the name of “progress.” It feels like much of our state’s history is being erased before our eyes in a race to become the next Silicon Valley. With that said, I am so thankful there’s such a dedicated group of people including Chris and Asa working to preserve sites like this. It’s a shame the hippie commune didn’t take better care of the mill. But thankfully most of the buildings are still standing.
