Austin

Austin combines a remote high-desert setting with the legacy of a once-booming silver camp in a way that reflects its position on the slopes of the Toiyabe Range. Founded after a silver discovery in 1862, it became one of Nevada’s major nineteenth-century mining towns. U.S. Route 50 follows the corridor through the Reese River valley, while surviving buildings recall the settlement’s mining-era layout. North of Austin, Stokes Castle, a three-storey granite tower built in 1897, remains an unmistakable local landmark.
