Sanders County Historical Society and the Old Jail Museum resurrected memories from the early days of early Clark Fork River, Heron, Belknap, Trout Creek and Thompson Falls on Saturday during its “Jail Break" event. 

Living historian and reenactor Mike Inman spent over an hour sharing his many stories about the early years of Sanders County, dating back from the 1850s through the early 1900s. He is associated with the Society of Civil War Surgeons, the Washington Civil War Associations, Montana Heritage Commission, Montana FWP and the Us Army Frontier Regulars.  

Inman is a regular late 1800 period reenactor for Montana’s Bannack State Park Bannack Days celebration. He has also taken part in the famous Gettysburg battle reenactments. Inman has been sharing his knowledge about life during the late 1800s for the last 17 years all over the Northwest and has given lectures at 17 schools during 2024.
