HISTORY IS OUR MISSION

Founded by volunteers in 1990, our mission is to preserve and share Kaycee and Western history in our historic Kaycee downtown buildings and tours. That history includes Native Americans, the Fur Trade and 1834 Portuguese Fort, the Bozeman Trail, Fort Reno, the Dull Knife Battle, the Johnson County Cattle War, Butch Cassidy and the Hole in the Wall Gang.
