Ghost Towns and More | Episode 30 | Encampment, Wyoming

If you love history and seeing as much of it as you can in one visit, Encampment, Wyoming is the place you'll want to see and experience. This semi-ghost town is located in one of the most out-of-the-way places in south central Wyoming. Dedicated historians and conservators have gone to great lengths to preserve the historic remnants of the former boom town in a large park area where people can see historic buildings--all furnished with antiques and artifacts from the past. Plus, residents of Encampment have annual events, jamborees, and festive celebrations that make this a wonderful place to visit every year. All historic photos courtesy of the Grand Encampment Museum.

It's always very interesting to watch these episodes. This one got me all excited about going back and checking out the museums and old stores, looking at all the old products they had back then. Thanks again for another great episode.

What a cool channel you have! So informative! You definitely deserve more followers and I hope your channel grows. I’m making special note of it for when we retire out west and start to travel and explore in earnest. Good luck with your channel and thanks for all of the time you obviously put into your videos.

Confusing that the tramway brought ore from mine to the refinery in town, then @ 5:23 the narrator says the tramway took the ore to “Colorado”. How and when does that fit into this system?
