Medicine Bow Museum

The Medicine Bow Museum is located in the old railroad depot, across the highway from the Virginian Hotel. The depot was built in November 1913, after a fire destroyed the original depot earlier that same year. The Union Pacific Railroad closed the depot in 1981, and it was deeded to the Town and placed on the National Register of Historical Places in 1982. In 1983, the depot became home to the Medicine Bow Museum and its colorful Old West and Local History Artifacts. Local and traveling exhibits display the history of Medicine Bow National Forest and the West in general, and cowboy chaps and branding irons are a clear reminder of the culture of this region. Also on the grounds are Owen Wister's old cabin, a restored caboose and a picnic area. Open in the summer only.
