Bannack State Park
Bannack State Park, named for the indigenous Bannock people who inhabited the area, preserves the remnants of the once-thriving gold rush town of Bannack, which emerged in the 1860s. It was the site of Montana's first major gold discovery and became the capital of the newly established Montana Territory. Visitors can explore well-preserved buildings, including the sheriff's office, schoolhouse, and Masonic Lodge, offering a vivid glimpse into the Wild West's past. Grasshopper Creek meanders through the park, inviting anglers to try their luck in its pristine waters. With its rich history and scenic beauty, Bannack State Park provides a unique opportunity to connect with Montana's frontier heritage and the rugged charm of the Old West.

Homestead NHP
Homestead National Historical Park commemorates the passage of the Homestead Act of 1862, which allowed any qualified person to claim up to 160 acres of federally owned land. The Act eventually transferred 270,000,000 acres from public to private ownership. The park includes 100 acres of tallgrass prairie restored to approximate the ecosystem that once covered the central plains of the United States, and it is amazing to think that it was nearly plowed into extinction by the homesteaders. There are about 2.7 miles of hiking trails through the prairie and the woodland surrounding Cub Creek, accessible via all-terrain vehicle. The park also has an original cabin built in 1867 by George Palmer and a historic schoolhouse. The Homestead National Monument is great place to begin if you want to understand 19th century Americans life on the Great Plains.
