Hoofprints of the Past Museum
Kaycee, Wyoming
The Hoofprints of the Past Museum was founded over twenty years ago by a group of local volunteers to preserve the unique cultural heritage of Kaycee and the surrounding countryside. That unique western history includes:
- The Bozeman Trail
- Early Settlement and Fort Reno
- Native Americans and the Dull Knife Battle
- The Johnson County Cattle War
- Famous Outlaws
Hoofprints of the Past does not hide away its artifacts in storage, but shares them with the public through a number of old-time displays including:
- School House
- Mercantile Store
- Post Office
- Blacksmith Shop
- Sheepwagon
- Doctor’s Buggy
The Museum also annuals hosts a number of events for the public that help share local history, such as:
- The Hole in the Wall Tour in June
- The Johnson County War Tour in August
- Historical Presentations
- Book Signings
The museum has produced DVD’s of many of these events, which are for sale in our museum store. Our store also carries a large number of books on local history, western posters and art, cards, and t-shirts.
