This free public event is part of the Archives’ monthly second Thursdays evening speaker series.
This presentation will cover the origin of the site, its purpose, and general use and history over time. It will also include stories and duties of the people who would have been stationed at these sites and an overview of what their day-to-day life was like.
Alexis Pratt is a Colorado native who obtained her Master's Degree in Museum Studies in 2016. Shortly after graduating, she became a staff member at the Wyoming Historic Governors' Mansion, a position she held for three years before becoming Superintendent.

The WSA Speaker Series hosts talks at 7 p.m. on the second Thursday of each month.
