| 3. | Julia Bulette Red Light Museum | Virginia City, Nevada, USA 5 N. C St. Virginia City, NV Phone: (775) 847-999 | "Julia C. Bulette was the most famous prostitute from the silver rush era of Nevada. Bulette was in all probability one of many popular prostitutes on the Ponderosa, but a century later she was the only lady of the evening getting regular shout-outs on TV's Bonanza. ... In the last decade, the saloon was replaced by a Chinese restaurant, and the collection of Victorian and frontier brothel artifacts have been trimmed back, including Julia's death scene diorama. ... A blow-up of the only known photo taken of Julia Bulette stands at the entrance into the museum. The exhibits are a bit of a jumbled mess, as if the curator has been out of town for decades, and no one working upstairs comes down except to throw a circuit breaker or check a pipe. Yet the vestiges of the collection are here. Two cabinets filled with laxatives, contraceptives, and early vibrators also include bumper stickers and post cards from the always-ripe-for-a-laff town of Intercourse, Pennsylvania."
