Montana Ghost Towns

Montana is one of the great ghost town states of the American West. Gold and silver strikes in the 1860s and 1870s built some of the most dramatic boom towns in the country, and the busts that followed left them standing in the big sky landscape. From the legendary copper city of Bannack to dozens of lesser-known mining camps tucked into the mountain ranges, Montana’s ghost towns reward explorers who are willing to seek them out across the state’s vast distances.
