Million Dollar Courthouse
The Million Dollar Courthouse is located in Pioche. This unassuming structure was built during the heydays of the mineral boom in Pioche. The Million Dollar Courthouse was originally supposed to cost just over $16,000 to build in 1872, but the costs ballooned to $1 million by 1936. Consequently it gained the title of "Million Dollar Courthouse." Today, visitors can tour the building and peruse its interesting collections and informative displays.
