Belmont

Tucked away in Nye County, Nevada, Belmont is a ghost town with a history rooted in silver. Once a functioning community, it now stands as a recognized historic district listed on the National Register of Historic Places — and carries the distinction of being Nevada Historical Marker number 138.

Visitors today will find the remnants of a former settlement accessible via what was once State Route 82. The site is reachable by passenger car, making it an approachable destination for history-minded travelers who don't need a high-clearance vehicle to make the trip.

Belmont rewards those interested in photography, quiet exploration, and a tangible connection to Nevada's past. Because it is an open, semi-arid ghost town setting, visits are most comfortable in late spring through early fall, with winter months potentially bringing hazardous road and weather conditions.
