Smith Mine

This was the site of the worst mining disaster in Montana.

The story of the mine disaster is quite interesting when you read how many women were widowed and children made fatherless and all the other statistics.  This is a link to an article detailing more facts...http://www.bearcreekmt.com/disa.htm

The entire place is one total ghost town.

Unfortunately when Joe and I came by this place is was starting to become dark and we still needed to get back into Cody.  I found out later that there was an old cemetery located on the top of the hill that had been there for over 100 years.  Sure would have loved to have checked that one out!
