Hours: Tues through Sat 10 AM - 5 PM
Join us on August 9th, 2025, for our annual tour of Kirwin, a ghost town deep in the National Forest! Tour the historic mining town of Kirwin in the Shoshone National Forest with Museum staff member Elizabeth Foss talking about the town’s short but eventful history. Learn about the geology of the region with geologist and Museum board member Lynn Sessions. The tour leaves the Museums at 9 am and begins onsite about 10:30 am. We recommend using a high-clearance vehicle to reach Kirwin as the road to the ghost town is rough and you must ford multiple rivers. Please plan to pack in water and pack out any trash. Keep an eye on our website and Facebook page for last-minute cancelations due to weather.
