Rhyolite Ghost Town - September 6, 2026 - Goldwell Open Air Museum.

Rhyolite Ghost Town

September 6, 2026 - Beatty, NV…read more We stopped in Beatty, NV, for an overnight stay on our road trip and had some time to explore, so I looked for something nearby. Rhyolite was only about 15 minutes away, so off we went. Additionally, Tom Kelly's Bottle House and the Goldwell Open Air Museum are along the way, so we got three interesting stops for the price of one. Rhyolite is a glimpse into Nevada's mining-town past. Most of the town has faded into crumbling walls and scattered ruins, but signs throughout the site explain what once stood there, often paired with old photos showing the buildings in their heyday. Seeing those images alongside the remains really helps you picture the bustling town that once occupied this now-quiet stretch of desert. The train depot is the highlight, as it's the most intact building and gives you the best feel for Rhyolite as it once was. Then there's the wonderfully quirky Bottle House, built from thousands of bottles, followed by the Goldwell Open Air Museum and its larger-than-life desert sculptures. Both were unexpected--and fun--additions to the outing. What started as a quick side trip turned into a memorable afternoon of ghost-town ruins, quirky history, and desert art. If you're staying in Beatty, Rhyolite is definitely worth the short drive!

This is such a cool stop if you're passing through Nevada! The historic town of Rhyolite is only 10…read moreminutes from the town of Beatty and about 1hr 40min from Vegas. I love history like this so I was super excited. I came here for the Tom Kelly Glass House. When you first walk up, there is a sign explaining the history of the house. Next to it, there is a sign in sheet so you can see where people have travelled from to checkout the house. I was amazed by how many people had recently been there! It's a short stop, just walk up and take a few pictures of the house. Look inside. Take in the history. I would definitely recommend adding this stop to your trip if you're passing through! Ohhh also, the Goldwell Museum is only a minute drive from the Tom Kelly Bottle House. Check out that place too and be respectful of the artwork!

Ok so i wasnt going to post anything, but this is a prison i totally get it i really do, but of the…read moreofficers should remember that visitors are free people we are not inmates, i do understand the day to day dealing with prisons, i work at ccdc as a nurse, the thing is with SOME, not most of the guards, they forget who they are talking to, it would be different if i myself was rude, but again i am a nurse so i know how to be polite on a bad day, SOME of the officers forget that, some of the vistitors are rude and entitled i get that but not all of us are. I repect the job its not a easy one but when the officers are rude, it doesnt make it any easier for anyone. Its not a good feeling to be searched or even in this place, but I will continue to visit my family regardless if they believe they shouldnt get visits or not. They have a new person at the front shes very nice, perkins is her name shes always very nice, i appreciate that i really do

They treat the family of the inmates like crap, you can't even call here and get info on an inmate…read morewithout them being smug or fast talking you. I get it it's prison not supposed to be fun, but dam the families didn't do the crime. You don't have to treat us like trash because you hate your job. There website also sucks it stays broken, they will direct you to go online. Then when you tell them it's broke they want to say that's not true. This place is a joke.
