Jennings, Montana

Jennings, Montana

In the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, Jennings was a railroad and steamboat town that served workers heading to the railroad camps farther north. Fires in 1904 and 1914 destroyed much of the town infrastructure, and by the 1930s only the Jennings school house remained. Libby Dam inundated the town in 1975.
