In 1888, the Blair Cabin was built by John (Frenchie) and Emma Blair on their homestead between Baggs and Dixon. Built by hand using a broadax, the house served Frenchie and Emma through 62 years of marriage and saw the births of children, grandchildren, and even one great-grandchild. Many of the items displayed in the house are original to the home. Blair descendents, including Mary Hopf, Albert Robidoux, Emma McMillen, and May Emma Ogg, donated the home and many of its contents to the museum. In 1987, the house became a permanent part of the museum grounds.
This month at Life and Times, join us for a special screening of Before Wyoming: The West in 1776, directed by Geoff O'Gara. The documentary explores the overlooked history of the Northern Rockies and Great Plains during the American Revolution.
After the film, enjoy a complimentary light meal and discussion. Village bus transportation will be available from Baggs. We hope you'll join us for an evening of history, conversation, and community!
