Museum of the Mountain Man
 The
Museum of the Mountain Man located in Pinedale, Wyoming houses many
of the artifacts pertinent to the fur trade era. The Mountain Men and
Trappers played a huge role in the history of the Green River Valley.
It is not surprising that a museum would be dedicated to preserving and
educating about that time period and its affect not only on our local
history but on the our nation as well. The Museum also displays several
traveling exhibits throughout the summer.Visit the Museum
