This weekend, the Meeteetse Museums invites the public to join its annual tour of the historic mining town of Kirwin.
For guests unfamiliar with the ghost town, museum staff will lead a Saturday caravan to Kirwin from the Meeteetse Museums. The caravan departs the museums, located at 1947 State St., at 8 a.m. The tour will begin on-site at 10 a.m. Participants should bring plenty of water, seating, lunches and layers, as the weather can change quickly. Tour participants must take their own vehicle, as transportation is not provided. There are multiple river and stream crossings, so a high-clearance vehicle is strongly recommended.
Museum staff will give visitors an introduction to the mining town before allowing them to explore on their own. While the tour is free, guests are encouraged to donate to the museums to help with future programming.
For more information, call 307-868-2423. To learn more about Kirwin, visit https://meeteetsemuseums.org/local-attractions/.
