The Wyoming Historical Society, in its current form, began in 1953 and is made up of supporters from all over the world. The Society is open to anyone, an individual, company, or institution, interested in history of Wyoming and the West. Membership is included with a yearly minimum donation. The Wyoming Historical Society is an educational non-profit, donation driven organization that encourages the study of Wyoming History. We believe to study the past is to understand the present and prepare for the future. Our vision is to ensure that Wyoming’s past remains accessible to present and future generations.
