BANNACK DAYS in Bannack, Montana

The 3rd weekend in July over 400 volunteers inhabit the old
ghost town, Bannack, and make it come alive for thousands of visitors who come
to take a step back in time. We, Bridge Over Time & Wyoming Classics, are
among those. We fill the Ratallack House, across the street from the church
above, with a store full of clothing and accessories and in
"character" we portray merchants of the day in our "Dry
Goods" store. We show our clothing, teach all about it and offer it for
sale to anyone interested.

Inside our front door this mannequin greets guests wearing a
floral drop waist dress that features leg of mutton sleeves. Many tiny gold
buttons go down the front and the cuffs. The bonnet on top is decorated with
tulle, rouched ribbon and silk flowers.

Hats and sun bonnets.

Our shop would not be complete without our late 1800's model
Pfaff hand crank sewing machine.

Buckskin dress on the right displayed in one of our rooms in
Bannack.

A yellow gown (without the many crinolines and slips that
would make it stand way out in all it's fullness. It is ready to be hemmed for
the lady it will adorn.

Rae Ann was out for a stroll at the Daly Mansion in Hamilton,
Montana. She is wearing a burgundy moire' skirt and mantelet with bridal
satin lining, a velvet collar, and bengaline pleated hems on both skirt and

are trimmed in lovely gymp. |

This surrey is absolutely elegant and both the Conners are
expert horseman and drivers. |
