Built in 1860 by John Mackay, King of the Comstock, used the mansion as a residence and as the Gould & Curry Mine Office. Between 1860 and 1950, bars of gold bullion were sold directly from the vault. Tour highlights are: mining artifacts, original furnishings, Tiffany silver, and great historical anecdotes.
The Mackay Mansion is steeped in history, from the mining office which is housed inside to the historic V&T Railroad, which transports you to the rear of the property. In addition, it is rumored to be haunted …. we’ll let you be the judge!
The lavish grounds can accommodate up to 400 persons for weddings, reunions, concerts, holiday parties and fundraising galas. The grand gazebo and party terrace provide a wonderful ambiance for any social occasion or event.

Rumored Paranormal Occupants
- Little Girl Dressed in White: This entity has appeared to many whom have slept in these bedrooms. Johnny Depp saw this apparition while staying here during his filming of “Dead Man.”
- An Elderly Female: She appears to float around and “linger” in favorite spots on the 2nd floor. Perhaps she is a former lady of the house?
- A Former Colonel: This apparition chooses to sit in the kitchen as his favorite way to pass the time. Long after his death, his presence remains, and has been felt by many psychics.
- A Focused, Conscientious Woman: This apparition (possibly a servant) seems to keep herself busy, making never-ending trips up and down the staircase … in a vain attempt to complete her chores?
