Join in the excitement of the Annual Mammoth Quick Draw as you stroll the Museum watching 33 artists finish a masterpiece in one-hour. This event drew more than 450 attendees in 2017. While dining on enchiladas and desserts, listen to the music of singer/guitarist Garrett Randolph of Cody.

The Worland Rotary Club uses its funds for philanthropic projects. Some of the local projects include: Sleep In Heavenly Peace, the picnic shelter and BBQ pit at Sanders Park, bike path park bench, Rotary Riverside Park, Children’s Resource Center playground equipment, the Washakie County Library Endowment, the kitchen remodel and sound equipment at the Washakie Museum, and H Diamond W 4-H camp cabin.

With permission and assistance from John W. Davis and the Northern Wyoming Daily News, the Washakie Museum & Cultural Center is in the process of republishing a 12-page history booklet titled “Worland Before Worland.” The Museum, in its efforts to preserve and make history available to our community and visitors, is attempting to republish many of our histories that are currently out-of-print. Paul Frison’s First White Woman in the Big Horn Basin and Grass was Gold along with John W Davis’ Sadie & Charlie have been reprinted by the Museum. While some may debate the facts contained in these older Big Horn Basin area histories; no one debates their value as representative of the feelings and sentiments of the people of this area and history as related by the authors of the time—these written documents and books are recorded history and should be saved and shared. An excerpt from Worland Before Worland….
On April 7, 1903, Charles Fremont Robertson, a lawyer
from Omaha, Nebraska, led a party of surveyors into what
is now part of the city of Worland, Wyo. He had begun his
expedition by railroad from Iowa and his purpose was to
determine the feasibility of a large irrigation project.
In 1903, the area along the Big Horn River, and around
the present town site of Worland, had a population of less
than one hundred people. It was eighty-five miles from a
railhead at Garland, Wyoming (from which Robertson had
come) and, with the exception of some fledgling irrigation
projects, was almost completely undeveloped. As a result
of Robertson’s journey, however, the area began a dizzying
crescendo of change.
In 1904, work began in earnest on the Hanover and Big
Horn Canals and people flooded in for the jobs created by
the construction. The telephone arrived in Camp Worland,
as well as a school, a church and a store with a post office.
In 1905, more people came and more buildings were built;
a newspaper was even begun. In 1906, Camp Worland
moved across the Big Horn River and became the
incorporated Town of Worland; a railroad, a bank, doctors
and lawyers arrived. In 1910, electrical works were begun,
the town supplied water, and the population reached almost
one thousand people. And, in January, 1913, Washakie
County began operation and the Town of Worland, located
where ten years before there weren’t ten people, became
the county seat.
This article, though, is not about the creation and
development of Worland; that remarkable story has been
told frequently and well. Rather, this story is about the
people of the Worland Valley who lived here before April of
1903 — who lived around Worland before there was a
Worland. These people did not come to the area for the
lure of great irrigation schemes or the excitement of a
burgeoning new town, and their lives were very different
from the later pioneers. They knew isolation and perils and
fears and agonies in ways which would never be
experienced by those who came after 1903.
The booklet is in final proofing stages and will be reprinted
locally at Serlkay Printing. It should be available in the
Museum’s Gift Shop by the end of November.

NEW MINI EXHIBIT: COMING SOON!
The Northern Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone were enemy
tribes, often fighting over territory. Events outside tribal
control forced them to share the same reservation and learn
to live together. This small pop-up exhibit introduces the
story of the treaties, laws, events and people that shaped the
history of the Wind River Indian Reservation (WRIR) in
central Wyoming.
