VIRGINIA CITY PRESERVATION ALLIANCE

VIRGINIA CITY, MT

The Virginia City Preservation Alliance (VCPA) is a non-profit organization based in Virginia City, Montana. The organization was founded in 2009 with the aim of preserving the historical structures and cultural heritage of Virginia City. This town was once a bustling mining town during the Montana Gold Rush era in the mid-1800s. Today, it is a living museum, with over 150 historic buildings, including houses, stores, and hotels.

The VCPA works to preserve these structures and ensure that they are maintained for future generations. They also work to educate the public about the rich history of Virginia City, through tours, events, and educational programs. The organization is run by a board of directors, which includes local residents, business owners, and historians.

One of the most significant achievements of the VCPA is the restoration of the Elling House. This historic building was built in 1865 and was once one of the most prominent buildings in Virginia City. The VCPA raised funds to restore the building to its former glory and turned it into a museum, which is now open to the public.

The VCPA also works closely with the Virginia City National Historic Landmark, which is managed by the National Park Service. Together, they ensure that the history and heritage of Virginia City are preserved for generations to come.
