Oh how'd love to spend that day at Bannack! :)

 

 Go for it, Ski! 

 

As best as I can tell, Bannack Days was held again this year just last weekend, the 3rd weekend in July being the traditional weekend.  A review of the schedule of events shows free exhibits on Surveying and Mapping (assumed to be the PLLS re-enactors), Miner's Court (which I don't recall having seen before, but which would hopefully have included presentations regarding mining claim laws and resolution of claim disputes), an Infantry encampment (previously including hands-on demonstrations of muzzleloading firearms), and around a dozen other activities. With any luck, future Bannack Days would include the Chuckwagon (demos of cast iron cooking at its finest) and an inside tour of the hardrock mining mill and recovery processes.

 

There's a September event shown as Living History Weekend set for the 3rd weekend in September annually.  I don't recall seeing mention of that before.  It's a 4 day event and is apparently geared to include teachers and school field trip groups.

 

Full information on the Bannack State Park website.
