About Belmont Courthouse State Historic Park
The Belmont Courthouse stands as the most intact landmark in the former silver-mining town of Belmont. Built after silver discoveries drew prospectors to the area in the late 1860s, it served as the Nye County seat until the county seat moved to Tonopah in 1905. Its roof survived when most nearby buildings were stripped for timber. Visitors can see its Italianate design, the jail cells returned to the rear of the property, and thousands of signatures covering the interior walls. The Friends of the Belmont Courthouse, a nonprofit, now preserves the building and leads tours by appointment.
