2023 Trek Information

Save the date and plan on attending the Society’s 69th annual Trek hosted by the Star Valley Historical Society the weekend of June 15, 2023.  Registration information will be available soon. 

The Trek will take us from Afton to Montpelier, Idaho and back visiting the Oregon Trail Center and the Butch Cassidy Museum.  Trekkers will learn about the Montpelier Bank Robbery on August 13, 1896, and the rich history of the Crow Creek Freight Road between the two sites.  Saturday will feature Star Valley History and the history of the sheep movement from across the state from the desert to the mountains, among other great sites.

Star Valley  is a very active place during tourist season, so it is important to book hotels soon.
