Montana was an integral part of the Wild West.

Towns like Bannack, Virginia City, and Garnet were thriving towns during the late 1800s.

These places were vital spots for cowboys to relax, barter, and enjoy themselves.

Most of these towns in Montana are ghost towns, but they still have some buildings from their glory days.
