Wyoming’s Big Horn Basin is over 14,000 acres of arid desert, sagebrush steppes and mountain valleys. It is a vast area steeped in historical, geological and archaeological wonders. At 1 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 20 at the Meeteetse Library (located in the Meeteetse School, 2107 Idaho St.), area cowboy historian and podcast host (The Sweet Smell of Sagebrush) Clay Gibbons will share The Wonders of the Big Horn Basin.
Among the wonders explored will be the discovery and excavation of wooly mammoths near Worland, archaeological excavations by Worland native and internationally acclaimed archaeologist George Frison, as well as a look at contributions made by Buffalo Bill Cody to settlement in the Big Horn Basin.
A Worland native, Gibbons combines his passion for the Old West and his lifelong love of history into a captivating ability to bring its characters to life. He is a storyteller who enlightens and entertains his audience, while remaining true to his story.
As with all library programs, it is free and open to the public. For more information contact the Meeteetse Library at 307-868-2248.
