Follow along as fine art photographer Edward M. Fielding treks to a remote ghost town high in the mountains of Montana. Elkhorn, Montana was once a boom mining town with 2,500 inhabitants, several saloons and train service. A few decades later it was abandoned.

Excerpt: " Silver mining is only a worthwhile pursuit if one receives a paycheck. When the paymaster’s window shuts down for good, the town is worthless. There is no farming, no other industry, only the promise of a cold, hard winter ahead. Best to gather up what you can and catch the last train or last wagon out of the mountains and try your luck elsewhere.
Today, Elkhorn is the smallest state park in the Big Sky state of Montana. In fact, the state only owns a couple of acres around some of the buildings. The test of the place is made up of original buildings taken over as private summer cabins.
Elkhorn is located in Jefferson County, about 50 miles south of Helena. Backcountry roads settle you into a 19th-century mining landscape before you reach historic Fraternity Hall and Gillian Hall nestled within the privately owned town of Elkhorn.
There are no real facilities except for an outhouse at the picnic spot at the edge of town. A few signs were probably first erected when the area first became a state park. Now they sit and rot, waiting for the state legislators to give a damn and drop a few taxpayer dollars on this state’s historic treasure."
