About Riverton Museum

The Riverton Museum is one of the Fremont County Museums. It gathers objects tied to Riverton's past, nearby eastern county communities, the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho peoples, and regional history. Its exhibits and programs include children's hands-on sessions, outdoor treks, and guest speaker talks. The museum also offers a self-guided walking tour of historic downtown buildings, such as the depot, hotel, theaters, and churches. The museum occupies a former Methodist church that opened as a museum in 1970.
