Gold Rush in Montana

Before the untamed American West became civilized it has to go through periods of unrest, toil, boom and bust. Much of this was driven by the lust for gold, silver and other precious metals.

Bannack, Montana, now a ghost town in Beaverhead County, Montana, United States, located on Grasshopper Creek, approximately 11 miles (18 km) upstream from where Grasshopper Creek joins with the Beaverhead River south of Dillon. Founded in 1862, the town contemporarily operates as a National Historic Landmark and is managed by the state of Montana as Bannack State Park.
