Jail with a Sod Roof, Montana's First Jail, Bannack, Montana

 

This building was the first jail in Montana. It also has a sod roof. Sod is made of blocks of grass with the dirt still attached. You can read about some of the history of this jail in an article entitled, "Montana's First Jail is in Bannack, the Town that hanged its Sheriff."
