About 20 miles west of Dillon, Bannack State Park is a National Historic Landmark and the site of Montana's first major gold discovery in 1862. More than 50 historic buildings still line Bannack's Main Street. During Bannack Days, the ghost town comes alive with displays, re-enactments, artisan demonstrations, music and other family-friendly festivities.
