The excellent Jim Gatchell Museum affords insight into bygone days. Old Fort McKinney, which is now the Veteran's Home of Wyoming, is just west of town on Highway 16.
Fort Phil Kearney and several battle sites from the Army/Indian conflicts are 13 miles northwest. Many day trips can be planned around these historical sites.
Centrally located, DEER PARK makes an ideal summer headquarters for exploring this entire area.
The nation's first national park, Yellowstone is just 235 miles, making a nice side trip. Grand Teton National Park, Jackson Hole and Cody may be seen on the same trip. Cody has nightly rodeos and is home of the Buffalo Bill Historic Center.
Custer Battlefield National Monument, the site of Custer's last stand, is only two hours away.
The Black Hills of both Wyoming and South Dakota are just 3 hours East. Devil's Tower, the nation's first national monument, also makes a nice day trip. Just over the Big Horns is Hot Springs State Park with hot mineral water and a large buffalo preserve.
Excellent uncrowded roads make exploring a joy.
We hope you will want to come and spend some time with us and enjoy what Northern Wyoming has to offer.
If you do, we think you will come to love the area as we do; for its history, climate, the informal and friendly atmosphere, outdoor recreation and the natural beauty of the land.
