As the oldest historical society in the State of Wyoming, the Sublette County Historical Society (SCHS) was established in 1935 to preserve historic sites associated with the fur trade and rendezvous, mark settler graves and trails, and collect records, documents, and artifacts reflecting the history of Sublette County.
Today, SCHS serves as the parent organization for the Museum of the Mountain Man, which offers a visual and interpretive experience into the era of the mountain man, the Plains Indian, the Oregon Trail, and the development of the region. The Museum sponsors programs, living history events, and workshops for both children and adults, providing opportunities to further explore Wyoming’s settlement history.
Each year, the Museum and the Sublette County Historical Society publish the Rocky Mountain Fur Trade Journal and other works that help educate the public and preserve the stories of historical events and individuals from across the country. The continued success of SCHS and the Museum of the Mountain Man depends on the generous support of individuals and businesses whose donations and memberships make our mission possible.
