Since its inception the Society has sponsored two large events open to members and guests. The events are hosted by local county chapters and highlight specific historic events and places, and which serve to recognize individuals for their efforts in preserving all aspects of Wyoming’s history.

  • The 2023 trek will be held June 15-17 and hosted by the Star Valley Historical Society.
  • The 2023 annual meeting will be held September 8-10 and hosted by the Park County Historical Society.
