Discover the rich cultural heritage of southwestern Wyoming at the Sweetwater County Historical Museum in Green River. Established in 1967, the museum’s mission is “to preserve and present the story of Sweetwater County from its early beginnings to the present, to serve as a depository for historical items and records and to serve as an educational and informational center for children and adults.” A statue dedicated to explorer and scientist, John Wesley Powell, stands sentinel in front of the building.
