Description
Bannack State Park is a registered historic landmark and the site of Montana's first major gold discovery on July 28, 1862. This strike set off a massive gold rush that swelled Bannack's population to over 3,000 by 1863. As the value of gold steadily dwindled, Bannack's bustling population was slowly snuffed out. There are over 50 buildings that line Main Street with their historic log and frame structures that recall Montana's formative years. A walk down the deserted streets of Bannack evokes a feeling of the realities faced by the 'Old West'. Bannack is the best preserved of all Montana ghost towns being preserved rather than restored... protected rather than exploited. Bannack Days with historic displays, activities and events is held the third weekend in July each year. The visitor center does tours and is open from Memorial Day through Labor Day. A tipi is available to rent from the center. For more information about Bannack State Park, read Spirit of the West, 2003 Montana Outdoors article.
