Bannack is one of the best preserved ghost towns in the United States. It is the site of the first major gold
rush in Montana and it was Montana's first territorial capital. Over 50 buildings still stand in Bannack,
along with the re-created gallows used to serve justice to the infamous sheriff Henry Plummer and his
gang of outlaws. The cemetery is located on a hill overlooking the town and offers a fantastic view of
Bannack and the surrounding area.
Bannack is now well cared for and managed as part of Bannack State Park. The park and campgrounds
are open all year. It is located about 25 miles southwest of Dillon, Montana, off Highway 278. Bannack
Days, a celebration of pioneer life is held each year. It is normally held on the third weekend of July and is
a great way to experience Bannack.
Below are some pictures of Bannack that we took when visiting in the Summer of 2007. Enjoy!
