Bannack State Park, Dillon, Montana
FRONTIER SPIRITS
Explore the notorious ghost towns of the American Wild West
BY CLARISSA CASPER

host towns are abundant in the American
West and symbolize the frontier spirit that
characterized the region during the 19th and
20th centuries. Over time, these towns have
evolved from abandoned relics to cultural
icons and tourist attractions, making them
the perfect places for your clients to explore.
Many ghost towns were originally established
due to the gold rushes and mining
booms that swept across the West in the
1800s. For example, Bannack State Park,
one of the best preserved of all Montana
ghost towns, came into existence after a
large amount of gold was discovered in its
area, setting off a massive gold rush that
boosted the town's population to more than
3,000 until the value of gold dwindled and
its population was lost. Here, groups can
tour more than 50 buildings lining its Main
Street, most of which are unlocked and show
the " layers of life that represent the evolution
of the town, " says Bannack State Park
Manager John Phillips. The park offers group
tours and interactive experiences such as
gold panning. Groups can also participate
in " Bannack Days, " where they can view historic
displays and watch reenactors tell the
fascinating story of the town.
