North of Mesquite, about a 3 hour and 45-minute drive, is the city of Pioche, where the Lincoln County Historical Museum (69 Main St.) features Native American and Chinese displays, mining tools, furniture, musical instruments, guns and mineral specimens. Nearby stands the notorious "Million Dollar Courthouse," which in 1871 cost taxpayers almost $1 million although estimated at $16,400. The combination of broken contracts, inflated material costs, decline in mining and tax revenue, interest on bond payment over many years, and failure of elected officers to promptly resolve the problems resulted in the building finally costing the "million dollars." The museum is open daily from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, call (775) 962-5207, 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Admission is free.
