Ghost Town in Montana

 Well of course I had to visit any Ghost town in Montana,  The Rv park we stayed at recommended Bannock Ghost Town.


 I actually came across the Turner House.  They give you a map, and pamphlet explaining all the buildings in the town.


 The Courthouse was later turned into the Meade Hotel


 In the Hotel they had this huge staircase that winded up to the second floor.

 The town has been given to  the Montana historical society.

 The Saloon was Awesome and told a story about Henry Plummer who was the town sheriff, by day and led a band of thieves,  to rob gold miners of their gold by night.


 The thing that impressed me most was the wall paper in one of the homes,  it was really well preserved,  and I wondered "who could afford wall paper?"

The Masons built this building.  They used the top half for their meetings, and the bottom was a school.  I asked the staff if they had experienced any paranormal activity or scene anything,  and of course they had stories.  But on my trip I didn't experience any such activity.  Probably a good thing.  Not really sure how I would react if I did see or feel something.  Bannock was a great Ghost Town!  I Loved it!
