We are excited to be in the field this summer with the joint MSU Field School / Project Archaeology Teachers Workshop at Virginia City, Montana! Follow us on our blog link above! If you’re in the area, stop by and see a new chapter in Montana history come to light!
Archaeologist Scott Carpenter of InteResources Planning goes over the site plan with the students.
Correct me if I am wrong, but isn’t Bannack the first Territorial capital?
Yes, Ken, Bannack was technically the first Territorial Capital of Montnana, but only held it for a few months until it was given to Virginia City in 1865. Thanks for pointing that out.
