150 Years of History

The Little Snake River Museum is home to over 15 historic buildings and countless exhibits depicting the rich history of this secluded ranching valley. Housing thousands of artifacts, photographs, and stories, the museum has pieced together many tales of a bygone era. People who have stayed and people who have moved on all left their mark on this valley.  Come spend a day at the museum exploring their stories and get a glimpse of how they lived.

On the road to nowhere, the Little Snake River Valley is one of Wyoming’s best kept secrets.  Winding around ancient volcanic mountains and through lush pasture land, the Little Snake River flows westward into the drier lands of Browns Park, an area steeped in outlaw history. The valley’s rich resources have drawn a variety of residents over the years: native people, explorers, trappers, settlers, homesteaders, miners, stockmen, and outlaws—they have all called this valley home.  Visit the Little Snake River Museum and find out why. It’s “worth the stop.”

It has taken many years, hands, and minds to make the museum what it is today. We appreciate everyone who has worked, volunteered, and donated to the museum. Thank you!
