There’s just something special about the Museum grounds this time of year. 🌻

They’re a wonderful place to gather with friends, take a leisurely stroll through the gardens, enjoy the flowers, and admire our historic buildings. Or, if you’re looking for a little quiet time, come wander the grounds and simply enjoy the peacefulness of the Museum.

So, come on by, slow down, and stay awhile. This is a beautiful time of year to enjoy your Museum!

If you missed this evening’s Life and Times at the Little Snake River Museum, you missed one of the premier—and coolest—events of the season!

This evening, Candy Moulton shared the fascinating process behind making the film Journeys to Carbon County, a project she truly blazed the trail in bringing to life.

The film highlighted Journeys to Carbon County and the America 250 celebration.

What a wonderful evening of history, storytelling, and filmmaking!

The good news is, you can view this short film through the link below.

Discover how Wyoming's Carbon County shaped American travel across the Continental Divide.

MYTH OR FACT?

Welcome to a new Little Snake River Museum series, "Myth or Fact".

We’ll be sharing local history claims and stories from around the Little Snake River Valley, and it’s up to you to decide whether they’re, well, a myth or a fact!

Here’s our first one:

"Sheep wagons were originally designed in Wyoming."

-

If you’re interested in learning more about the sheepherders and sheep ranching history of our area, we encourage you to come visit the MacPherson Sheep Center here at the Little Snake River Museum in Savery!

The MacPherson Sheep Center was made possible through a generous donation from John A. and Catherine MacPherson, to house their collection of historic sheep wagons. The building takes visitors back to the days of "sheep camp," where you can see the wagons used by different sheep companies, learn how wool was processed, explore sheep ranching methods, and discover more about the historic sheep and cattle wars of the region.

Come see these pieces of our local history for yourself! And don't forget to drop your guesses in the comments below!

Do you enjoy checking our Historic Buildings?
If yes, then we are the place for you to visit.
We should be open for the Season another 9 weeks or so.

The Jim Baker Cabin, built in 1873, was originally located about one mile from where it currently sits. The Blair Cabin was built in 1888 by husband and wife with nothing more than their hands and a broadaxe. The Brown House was donated by Jim and Mildred Marshall and originally was located in Baggs, Wyoming. Next to the Brown house is the Dutch Joe Schoolhouse, established in Savery in 1900. In 1993, the Cobb family donated the Stobridge-Groshart-Hays House to the museum, moving it from its original location a mile to the southwest. A mining tank from a local mine, donated by Gilbert Williams, now houses a mining display. The interactive Homesteader House invites children to explore history hands-on.

Local dude/guest ranching history finds its place in the Focus Cabin. The Dixon Street building houses several replicated businesses that used to be in Dixon, Wyoming.
