—————————————————————————————

Every summer, the Museum of the Mountain Man hosts its annual Western Art & Wine Auction, featuring a Live Auction and a companion online Silent Auction held during the Green River Rendezvous (the second weekend in July). This popular fundraising event supports the museum’s educational programs, exhibits, and special events throughout the year.

Thanks to the generosity of artists, collectors, wineries, and donors, all artwork and wine featured in the auction is donated, making every bid a direct investment in the museum’s mission.
