Celebrating 100 Years of the Yellowstone Highway

The Wind River Visitors Council has partnered with the Riverton Museum, Hot Springs County Museum & Cultural Center and Hot Springs County Travel & Tourism Board to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Yellowstone Highway as part of National Travel and Tourism Week, which takes place from May 19 to 25. To celebrate the anniversary, the Riverton Museum will be hosting historian Jackie Dorothy for this Wind River Visitors Council Adventure Trek Series program on Sunday, May 19 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The day will include an interpretive bus tour that will explore the history and scenery of the Yellowstone Highway from Shoshoni to Thermopolis. In addition, we’ll visit the Hot Springs County Museum & Cultural Center and the Hot Springs State Park Bath House in Thermopolis. We’ll have a late lunch at the One Eyed Buffalo Brewing Company before making our way back to Riverton. For more information or to register, call the Riverton Museum at (307) 856-2665.
