Bannack State Park

Assistant Park Manager Tom Lowe talks about the human and natural history of Bannack, Montana’s first capital and the site of the territory’s first major gold strike along Grasshopper Creek. Lowe describes the efforts by the Beaverhead County Museum beginning in the 1940s to create a park which led up to current preservation efforts as well as the documentation of bird species over the years.
