Wyoming’s Archeological History

Wyoming has been inhabited for thousands of years and each civilization has left their mark on the land.  Simply by following Indian trails, game paths, fur trappers and explorers, uncovered great discoveries.  One example is the discovery of South Pass in western Wyoming, without which there would have been no mass migration to California or Oregon and some experts contend that those areas may not have become a part of the United States.
