Meet the Storekeeper and Blacksmith from the Bannack Living History Weekend

The storekeeper and his wife were delightful and so fitting to run the “Mercantile” at the Living History Weekend at Bannack Ghost Town, Montana. It was amazing to see how many props, artifacts, authentic goods, and full shops of wares they could bring in for this annual event. The blacksmith was busy forging a tool in his outdoor tent-shop. It was so fun to watch him do his work. Thanks to all of you who made this Living History Weekend so inspiring and fun! What a great way to learn more about the history of this life in this real ghost town.
