Thanks Dan, from what I was able to find it looks like Bannack was used in at least 7 films, but it was not dedicated to being a Hollywood set if that's your question. It is an actual town founded during the gold rush days, and survived for a short while after most all gold was found and mined. Few stayed there after that but eventually all left, and this is now what remains of it. There are multiple buildings, homes, town hall, church, saloons, etc, and most all can be walked through.
OK, thank You for sharing this evocation...witness of the historic past of te USA.Mar 16, 2022 06:57:45 #

thanks, we only had a few hours there also, and probably only got to walk through (and photograph) maybe 50% of the buildings...would have loved more time there but was a few hours away from where we were visiting, and dinner conflicts made it impossible..great place though!

Looks like a place I'd love to visit! Nicely done. Is this the town that was the capital for awhile?

yes, would be worth a visit, and easily tied into a visit to Yellowstone. And yes, it was the capital back then, the first one, and changed twice since then. Thanks!
