Beaverhead County Courthouse / Hotel Meade and the Skinner Saloon
The Ghost Town of Bannack is located in the mountains of Southwest Montana. The town began in 1862 when gold was discovered along Grasshopper Creek. It quickly flourished into a boom town of over 4000 people and was briefly the Territorial Capital of Montana. As with most mining towns, the boom turned to bust, and the town was down to one resident by the 1950's. Today it is a Montana State Park and is one of the best preserved ghost towns in the American West.

Despite suffering a multitude of major injuries including left arm amputation due to a rocket attack in Afghanistan, SSG Kacer competes in the track and field, swimming, and sitting volleyball events. The athletes competed in cycling, swimming, sitting volleyball, track and field events during the five-day competition at both Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and Fort Meade, Md. The best athletes will move on to Colorado Springs, Colo. for the inter-service competition held late April, early May.

At the Hotel Meade, which was originally built as a courthouse in 1875, there are numerous stories of ghostly activity. When Bannack lost its county seat status to nearby Dillon in 1881, the building sat vacant until 1890 when it was remodeled into a plush hotel. The hotel opened and closed sporadically through the years with the ebb and flow of mining activity. At one time the building acted in the capacity of a hospital.
Cold spots, the apparition of a teen-age girl, and sounds of crying children are often reported by those who visit this old building. The first sighting of a young girl was well over a hundred years ago. The teen is said to be that of a girl named Dorothy Dunn who drowned in a dredge pond along the creek long ago. Shortly after her death, she made her first appearance to her best friend, who was with her at the time of her death.
Since then there have been multiple sightings of the teen-age girl wearing a long blue dress on the second story of the old hotel. These reports often come from children, one of which reportedly stated that the ghost of Dorothy Dunn tried to talk to her. The seven year old could see Dorothy’s mouth moving but no sound came out. Dorothy has also been sighted standing in an upstairs window by passersby on the street below.

Hotel Meade was constructed in 1875 and served as the first Beaverhead County Courthouse. In 1881, the courthouse was moved to Dillon, Montana, leaving the large brick structure vacant. Dr. John Singleton Meade purchased the building in 1891, and began renovations to create an elegant hotel.

In 1913 the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania commissioned a statue of Civil War general George Meade, a native Pennsylvanian who led the Union troops to victory at the Battle of Gettysburg. Originally installed at Union Square, Washington, D.C., in 1922, the memorial was moved by the National Park Service into storage in 1969 for the construction of the reflecting pool, where it remained until 1983. It was then reinstalled on Pennsylvania Avenue and 3rd Street, near the E. Barrett Prettyman Federal Courthouse.
General Meade is surrounded by allegorical figures representing Loyalty, Chivalry, Fame, Progress, Military Courage, and Energy, qualities that Grafly believed were characteristic of successful military leaders. The figures of Loyalty and Chivalry flank the general and remove his symbolic "cloak of battle," which General Meade leaves behind as he moves toward peace. In the back of the memorial, a winged representation of War links arms with Military Courage, suggesting that these extraordinary qualities derive from war. The state seal of Pennsylvania adorns the top of the memorial.
A basic Meade 2080 8" SCT on a CG-5 mount. The scope has a 2000mm focal length with a ratio of f10. I plan on doing more lunar photos with this. The large 8x50 finder scope and 2" diagonal and large 2" 40mm eyepiece make the 2080 look smaller than it is.
Photo taken with the Lumix G5, a Zeiss-Opton 50mm 1:2 lens wide open, in Contax RF mount, and an Olympus FL-36 flash.

Dedicated in 1927 as gift from the state of Pennsylvania the General Meade Memorial commemorates Meade's win over Lee at the Battle of Gettysburg.
The cylindrical marble and granite sculpture is 10.6 ft (3.2 m) tall and 9 ft (2.7 m) wide. The statue was sculpted by Charles Grafly, an educator and founder of the National Sculpture Society. It originally stood at Union Square but was moved for construction of the Capitol reflecting pool and the construction of the I 395, 3rd Street Tunnel. It now sits on a plaza in the 300 block of Pennsylvania Ave. More information is available at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Gordon_Meade_Memorial
