A little ways out of Missoula, but well worth the drive, if you are so inclined.
On Saturday, January 9th,
Bannack State Park will host a re-enactment of the hanging of the Henry Plummer Gang at 2:00 pm.
For
those of you who don't know, Henry Plummer was a local sheriff who is
said to have played both sides of the law. He supposedly headed up a
gang of thieves and highwaymen, who were eventually caught by vigilantes
and hanged for the offenses. There are those who question whether or
not Plummer actually did all of the things he was accused of. Come to
the hanging and hear what Henry has to say - and decide for yourself!
Ice skating will be available on the pond in the morning as well.
Cost is $10 per person, $15 per family or $20 for a business. A
social hour and dinner in Dillon will follow. For more information
call: 406-834-3413 or 406-683-6435.
