- If you want to get a feel for the remoteness of the wild west, you'll see and experience it at the semi-ghost town of Medicine Bow, Wyoming. In the heart of the town, the Virginian Hotel is a beautiful "Belle" of its day, still furnished as it was when the town was busy and famous. Guests are always welcome for overnight stays and for great meals in an old town atmosphere. The museum in the old train depot is a joy to visit, with so many things to see along with antiquities of the past. The old "Fossil Cabin" is a really unique attraction to see, being relocated closer to town and is made up mostly of thousands of dinosaur bones! Medicine Bow is a one-of-a-kind semi-ghost town that is really a lot of fun to see and visitors are always welcome.
Plan to spend the night at The Virginian in Medicine Bow. I’ve stayed there twice and it really takes you back in time.
Hello Beautiful Sallie!! My coworker at the Medicine Bow Museum!! The Beautiful Director Sharon Biamon!
Hahahaha you think flat land, until you walk it hahaha you’re not a high plains walker are you
Beautiful Wyoming❤ Thank you for the video
I love the book "The Virginian" and the TV-Series too. ❤
Wyoming offers a special feeling in History and personal experience. It is a Benefic energies feeling to me.
Note to self:
("The Virginian") book, originally published in 1902.

Great video! Thank you!
This video has so much great information on Medicine Bow! Excellent!!!
What a great story. Interesting to hear that the military was twice what the local population was.
The train in the area brought trade and people to this area ! I have visited this area around 20 years ago when my son lived in the area!
Another great episode with interesting history. I am so glad to see these amazing episodes and all of the history that goes with them. Thanks !
Our pleasure!

Your works are such Professional Productions, with excellent Narration, and truly an enjoyment to watch.
I just discovered this Channel today, have watched about 3 - 4 and Subscribed to support your efforts.
A Sociologist/Behavioralist
and Historian, I enjoy the History Content and observing the Human Behavior.
I hope to see about a 50 min +/- episode. Maybe a Special Series can warrant some longer pieces.
I've a particular fondness for Nevada, (lived there 17 years), and the Ancients that inhabited the West, DNA now revealing that the Mayans drifted North, others too no doubt, escaping the Spanish and their destruction.
Best Thoughts and Great Successes ...

I bet the fearce winter storm of the 1918/1919 was indeed horrific. But I think this winter has been as bad.
Interesting town. Thank you.
I had no idea that trains had those huge snow removers back then. I thought that was a more modern invention. It is amazing what people back then could accomplish from sheer will power.
Didn’t see the big ugly black building that faced 30, had a pretty good restaurant in the 60’s, always stopped there until 80 bypassed 30.
Medicine Bow, was all set to have I-80 go through, on the same route as old 30. But, it didn't happen, and the town shrank big time. I live in Cheyenne Wyoming and I've never been there. But I know of its history. I-80 really did a job on town in Nebraska.
My wife's 96 year old still living gramma aselia cooked there
Aselia, what a beautiful name, I wonder what its origin and meaning would be ...
That's super cool. I hope she's still kicking. God bless y'all.
@@skoomasteve6144 she's alive and well living in Cheyenne now
I can tell you being from Wyoming Medicine Bow is NOT a ghost town
Medicine Bow isn't a ghost town, last I heard there were 245 people living there.
The fossil cabin needs to be moved. It's getting vandalized, and the weather is making its way into the building
THE GOOD BACKGROUND MUSIC IS TOO LOUD
I've noticed that's a TH-cam trait. Must have to adjust the audio lower before Uploads.
