Special Presentation

Museum of the Mountain Man Pavilion
Join us for a special presentation of the PBS documentary Before Wyoming: The West in 1776, exploring the history of the American West at the dawn of the nation’s founding.
From the shots fired at Lexington, Massachusetts, the story of 1776 has often centered on the thirteen British colonies along the eastern seaboard. But another story of dramatic upheaval was unfolding across the vast interior of the continent.
Before Wyoming: The West in 1776 expands the traditional narrative of 1776, examining the people, places, and events shaping the West during this pivotal moment in history.
