The Sweetwater County Historical Museum is excited to present Angie Quintana Bennett’s "Visual History of Home & Heritage" at our museum beginning Tuesday, September 15. 

Angie is a watercolor and acrylic Green River artist showcasing her Hispanic heritage and love for the natural world through landscapes and portraits. This exhibit kicks off the museum's celebrations of Hispanic Heritage Month and will be up through November 7 for the museum's Día de los Muertos events. 

The exhibit can be viewed for free at the Sweetwater County Historical Museum located at 3 E. Flaming Gorge Way in Green River. Our museum is free to visit and is open 9am - 5pm Tuesdays-Saturdays.

The Sweetwater County Historical Museum and Rock Springs Museum are teaming up with the Rock Springs Chamber of Commerce to host another Historic Bus Tour of Downtown Rock Springs on Tuesday October 13th.

The Historic Bus Tour is led by Laura Dale, Public Engagement Coordinator for the Sweetwater County Historical Museum. Guests will learn about the iconic spots that were built over the last hundred years and hear about the history that goes along with them. The bus also makes frequent stops where a business owner may step on to share about their business history in town, or where the tour goes behind-the-scenes at some of the buildings in the area, including a tour of the Rock Springs Museum with Jennifer Messer, Museum Coordinator. Historic photos from the museums’ collections make this tour immersive and engaging. This event is made possible in part from a Culture Grows Grant awarded to the Sweetwater Museum from Wyoming Humanities. 

Tickets can be purchased for $15 at the Rock Springs Chamber of Commerce or by calling the Chamber at 307-362-3771.
