The Moorcroft Historical Society was officially chartered on September 7, 1991, although many hours were spent prior to that date getting things ready. There are too many folks that have worked hard to bring us a great museum and who have worked diligently to make preserving our history a priority. We thank all of them.

Mission:

The purpose of this corporation shall be to collect and preserve all possible data, materials and records related to the history of the Moorcroft area in all its varied aspects. It shall be concerned with the preservation of sites, monuments and artifacts reflecting the development of Moorcroft and surrounding areas. It shall promote the study of all such data and encourage in every way possible an interest in Moorcroft and Wyoming history. Special emphasis shall be placed on the history of the West Texas Trail.
