Bannack Graveyard by John Vachon, 1942.
Bannack Cemetery today, July, 2008, Kathy Weiser.
Located on a hill just north of
Bannack and east of the
gallows is the old cemetery. Utilized from 1862 to about 1880, it holds a
number of graves, but most are no longer marked. Given more than a century
of harsh winters and crude markers to begin with, Mother Nature has
reclaimed all but a few stone markers.
Bannack's
most "famous" citizen, Sheriff
Henry
Plummer, was not buried here, but rather was interred in Hangman's
Gulch about 100 yards beyond the gallows, without benefit of a marker. Another cemetery lies outside of Bannack, just off the county road. That cemetery began to be used around
1876 and has about 60 graves that are still marked.

Style Advertising Prints - What were on the walls of the
saloons in
the Old
West? Likely, much of the same as those you find today -
advertisements for liquor, beer, and tobacco. Plus the "decadent"
women of the time. In our

your "real"
saloon or den in a
saloon type
atmosphere.
