Western Montana ghost towns

Post by crazydrummerdude »

Anyone ever been to any? Do you have any to recommend?

Bannack is the most popular one, from what I can tell, and I'll swing by there tomorrow. Hopefully I'll see one or two more, if we have time, like Virginia City and Coolidge.

Pics to come, I'm sure.

As a side note, Montana is freaking awesome this time of year.. the weather is PERFECT. Oh, and they actually keep/maintain their history instead of tearing it down and covering it up. They turn old homesteads and ghost towns into state parks. They open their caves to tours. They encourage people to explore. What a concept.

Check out www.ghosttowngallery.com

It has a lot of good information and a map of tons of ghost town locations. I'll be interested in the pics you get.
