Great video
What happened to 'Week 5'? Good video series, I really like them.
I grew up in Dillon so I've been to Bannack so many times. I always learn something new. Thank you for this.
Wow, That is amazing!
Great video, Thank you so much for doing this. Very good history!
I'd like to participate.
Good stuff Missy.
🤨🤔Odd ~( 3:35 ) when My family was touring Virginia City in the early 60s the information that was given there was the two-story brick building on the main street, housed the first Governers office and General Thomas Francis Magher became the first assigned and acting Governor, taking over for the temporary person - that handed Governor Magher the office papers in a briefcase and jumped into the same stagecoach that Governor Magher just stepped out of. Later the capital was declared to be in Helena "after a Copper King" tried by hook or crook to have it be made in Anaconda. Governor Magher lost His life in suspicious circumstances in the town of Fort Benton, He was last known to be aboard a large boat docked on the Yellowstone river. The county named Magher is in His honor. Being part Irish and Montana born, I've read about this version in several well-written books and articles accepted by a lot of well-studied people that write about these sorts of things. Yup❕
Thank you for the tour!
I think it’s great how you have actors on site to help evoke a sense of the past. The last time we were there a girl in a blue dress was walking the halls of the hotel and waving at my kids. Very cool!
More shorts like this…
I cannot wait to visit! It all looks amazing!
"You may not loiter downtown in ice cream stores." Harsh.
This, among all of the rules for teachers, is the one that kids always find the most unfair!
Thankyou!!!!
My friend went to the Bannock Hotel and witness the ghost in the left upper room of the hotel after 3 hours of sitting quietly the rocking chair started rocking and something fell off the wall I believe so anyway if you're there it's worth a try it sounded like a lot of fun cuz this guy's is super straight shooter and I guarantee you he was not bsing me great video much appreciation I hope to make it to Bannock someday
....so, the masons still use this??
Yes, from time to time! It is a historic lodge today.
Man I wanted to see the second floor of the school
The second floor is a historic Masonic Lodge, that is not open to the public!
@@bannackstatepark2248 not even open to the public via video? What’s a Masonic lodge and why is it so secret?
@@johnmorris8444 Hi John! This part of the building was built and is managed by the Freemasons, which are a fraternal organization. The objects in this room do not belong to the state, therefore we do not show them during our tour!
@@bannackstatepark2248 ah, alright. Do the Freemasons still use that room or are the objects just collecting dust?
@@johnmorris8444 They still use it, and come by to take care of it often. They actually had an open house this week where people got to come in and see it, which was areal treat! We're hoping to do a virtual tour this fall :)
Thanks for helping preserve history!
❤️
I'll have to tri with all my force to not make it to Bannack during winter! Looks like a great time!
Oh man. I wish the video was a bit longer. Thank you for posting it though!
Of course, glad you enjoyed it! This video was originally created for our TikTok account, and reuploaded here! That's why it's so short :)
Fantastic video! Lots of info and history! Thanks a bunch!
Love the "knocking" 🤣 Thanks for the heads up to contact local parks, Id love to help out like yourself!
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you so much for the comment! One of the first boxes I went to had a bird inside, and it was less than happy to have me sneak up on it. 😅 We just did our annual Cleanup Day event on the 21st. It's worth a try to contact your own local parks to see if they have any events like this, or are in need of volunteers!
@@bannackstatepark2248 I'll for sure give my local parks a call! Thanks again and thanks for the great videos! I've never been to Montana but these videos sure make me want to visit!
Nice
Thank you for the cool history
We traveled to bannock in 2019,I had the best time walking the town and loved it so much. We stayed in Dillon at a campground on bannock road,very nice. Got my t shirt here I love!!
I would love for my son and I to visit here. It's beautiful
We are back to being open every day! Our winter hours are 8 am to 5 pm (October - June). In the summer, we're open until sunset.
What was that rodent in the doctors house?
It was a chipmunk! They tend to live in the back part of the house :)
Thank you I appreciate you
No one else saw the chipmunk in the house? lol
Dorothy Dunn is my ex father in laws relative.
Thank you, Siobhan for a thoroughly enjoyable presentation. I've lived in Kalispell, Montana 19 years, and Bannack is on my wishlist of places to visit when I retire. I envy you your job (I secretly always wanted to be a park ranger), and I admire the way you were able to carry on so well in spite of being heckled by what sounded like a really insulting pileated woodpecker!
good presentation just get rid of that mouth breathing camera man fuck sake
Loved every episode! Great work. Love History.
Good job!
Marble Ovitt wrote a book called The Golden Treasure. I actually was able to find a signed copy for my wife (a Dillon native).
very interesting 💕👵
Very interesting vids. Nice that you take the time. Well done.
How do I apply for work here ?
😆😆😆
What state is this in ?
Montana! We're about 30 minutes from Dillon, MT.
I like the pace of the video. She is charming
These short videos really bring western history alive. Thank you for posting!
The young lady doing the history narration is as good as any t.v. reporter. It’s unfortunate that the recording equipment is so poor. Loved hearing about the Vigilantes and the Plumber Gang.
Enjoyed every minute of this presentation but would like to see more of the interiors.
Hey! Thanks so much for your feedback. Glad you're enjoying our videos! We're planning on recording more virtual content in the future after the weather warms up and the snow melts. For now, you can check out our TikTok and Instagram @bannackstatepark and our Facebook page, Bannack Association!
Loved this presentation of the town. Hope to see it one day.
Love it there... but stop with the covid crap... it's all bullshit
someone get this cutey a mic please
the rule about teacher got my grandmother who was a teacher in the 20's and for the rest of her life. She met my grandfather who was a pricipal. They kept it secret, later moving to a new district (several times) and finally in Columbus, ohio they settled. Of course things had changed over time. Funny some of the old rules.
Maybe do a separate voice over ? Wind is tough
She was understandable during entire video. There is no reason to expect any better audio quality from someone in the wind.
What an interesting story, amazed by the history of the town. Thank you for uploading it on TH-cam! Kind regards, Ed de Braal, the Netherlands
Dutch people love this edje!!
