The Voice of the Community Since 1909, Serving Moorcroft and Pine Haven, Wyoming

A future for the past

The West Texas Trails Museum (WTTM) has purchased the two lots north of the museum building.

According to WTTM director Cindy Mosteller, this grassy area is to eventually become the summer home of an outdoor museum with a working blacksmith shop, tepee and pavilion for events sponsored by both the museum and the Moorcroft area Chamber of Commerce (MACC), including the popular Chuckwagon Breakfast and Rib Rally.

Mosteller, who is also the president of the chamber, hopes to buy the house and lot between the cleared property and the museum building soon, ensuring a contiguous space for multiple events and displays to invite and entertain locals and visitors alike in the coming years.
