Bannack, Montana, July 30, 2010.
The first schools in Bannack, Montana, were subscription schools – essentially private schools with parents paying tuition for their children to attend.
In 1874, Bannack Masonic Lodge No. 16 built a combination lodge and school building. The school was a public school serving students in K through 8th grade. It finally closed in the 1950s. The school was on the bottom floor and the lodge on the second.

Hi Mike – lovely stately building … impressive. Glad it’s still standing … but a pity it’s a ghost town … so many are I guess – cheers Hilary
It’s still looking good. The picture is from 8 years ago, but we were actually there again week before last. The town is now a state park and there is a campground next to it. We stayed two nights,,, very quiet and peaceful. (We had tent-camped there with in the 70s when the kids were small.)
Must be lovely … cheers Hilary
