Originally a bank, now a saloon and museum.
You can go into an underground mine entrance from this saloon, or step into an 1864 bank vault..........just don't mess with the "locals" who keep watch over the riches!

Mark Twain's favorite place to hang out in the 1860's
Though the Corner Bar closed in the 1880's, it was restored and re-opened just a few years ago. Mark Twain himself came back to celebrate the re-opening!
