Discover the rich cultural heritage of southwestern Wyoming at the Sweetwater County Historical Museum in Green River. Established in 1967 to preserve and present the history of Sweetwater County, the museum is housed in a 1931 post office building. In this old building, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, a treasure trove of bygone days is laid out so visitors can experience what life was like for early settlers and Native Americans. Long-and-short-term exhibits, a large photograph collection and local history materials trace the story of Sweetwater County from 1820 to the present. The museum houses permanent and temporary exhibits portraying the lives of early settlers in the area. Depicting an even earlier era, the museum features an exhibit about dinosaurs. To accompany this prehistoric representation, the Bureau of Land Management has loaned a petroglyph from the White Mountain petroglyphs.
