I come from about 32 miles north of there, Fort Washakie, up in the Wind River Mountains. We used to go into Lander for supplies and stuff. Used to camp up at the Lake Lander cabins there. It's one of my favorite places, too. I miss it. I miss my mountains.
Butch was born in my hometown (Beaver, Utah). My maternal grandmother's uncles used to keep strategically pastured horses on their ranches near robbers roost
i love this series a lot, and i can tell it means a lot to you to make it!! so often i wish i could get out of the city and see what the rest of the country looks like...
That is great country. Fremont County and Sublette County (to the west) are filled with interesting places to visit and beautiful sights so see. And if you really need to get all touristy, they are a short (by western standards) drive away from Jackson and Yellowstone. Most tourists stick to the main highways and buzz right on by the cool stuff as they head to the big name (and expensive) destinations. Take the time to see the real country. And for me, local museums are always the best places to visit. BTW: fremontcountymuseums.com/the-lander-museum/ Robert Leroy Parker, AKA Butch Cassidy was raised in Circleville, Utah. When I was younger, I knew his little sister, Lula Parker Betenson. Before she passed away in 1980, at the age of 96, Mrs Betenson wrote a book about her brother. She clearly stated that he returned to the US and that he died in the 1930s in Washington State. She never revealed where he died because she wanted him to rest undisturbed. Some parts of the movie "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" were filmed on the Parker farm. During the filming Mrs Betenson visited the set. When introduced to her, Newman said, “Hi, I’m Butch.” She replied, “Hi, I’m your sister.”
That looks like a great museum. I should use it as an excuse to go visit my uncle in Lander. (Or is that visit my uncle as an excuse to visit the museum?)
I love local museums - such gems, especially when combined with commitment and passion - thank you

Decades ago I spent Christmas in Landers. Everyone treated me like family. It was a great small town with a big heart.

Got drunk there in College. Even fed the trout.Love this series.
Please come visit us as the Green River Valley Museum in Big Piney sometime!
Beautiful place
This is pretty neat, a bit of a guide to places to see if i ever get to the US.
Thankyou for this☺
Thank you so much for sharing, a place to visit one day.. I would so love to see more about the Shoshone history. Hugs & sunshine 🌞 N
I really enjoyed this video, gives some variety to the channel :)
Now I am homesick! Thanks, I didn't need that while dodging hurricanes down here. Luckily I married the best part of Wyoming.

I’ll have to pay that place a visit if I ever find myself in the area.
Damn I love this channel
