The Washakie Museum and Cultural Center brings the past to life using fascinating exhibits to portray the relationship between the historical people of the Big Horn Basin and their environment.  The unique geography of the Big Horn Basin and its world-class archaeological sites allow the Museum to offer one of the finest interpretive centers for local human history, from ancient mammoth hunters through early settlers, as well as the geology, archaeology, and paleontology of our area.  The Museum also serves as a center for the visual and performing arts, conferences, conventions, and other gatherings.

NEWS FLASH Washakie Museum is thrilled to announce MDU Resources Foundation has granted us $2,500 to support the upcoming exhibit Voices of the Basin: History in Their Own Words. This oral history exhibit will explore the lives of those pioneers and their children who settled in Wyoming's Big Horn Basin over a century ago. Thank you to the Wyoming Arts Council for awarding the Washakie Museum $3,000 through the Technology in the Arts Grant!  This grant will enable the Museum to purchase a wide format printer to produce materials for Visual Art exhibits and Performing Arts programs.

Thank you to all who continue to support Museum programs!  There is always something going on at the Washakie Museum, so be sure not to miss this Winter's exciting exhibits, performances and workshops. Check out the photo gallery for updated pictures of recent Museum events. The Washakie Museum  gift shop, is continuing to grow as we increase our inventory of adult and children's books, apparel, stuffed animals, games, jewelry and more!  Museum gift certificates make wonderful gifts for any occasion and can be purchased for any dollar amount.
