About
WyoHistory.org, a project of the Wyoming State Historical Society, was founded in 2010 by the Society and by Project Director Tom Rea, with oversight of an enthusiastic advisory board (see below).
Beta Version
WyoHistory.org remains under construction, but the site has already been populated with a rich collection of stories about Wyoming's past. We invite you to use the site and provide any feedback about the site itself or this early selection of stories. Please contact us at editor@wyohistory.org with any thoughts.
