Additional Information

Casper Posse of Westerners
The Casper Posse of Westerners is now formally chartered by the Westerners International. This organization is a round table type group, which meets the 3rd Wednesday of every month at 7:30 p.m. Westerners International is a non-profit Foundation organized to stimulate interest and research in the history of the American West. The Westerners movement was started in Chicago in 1944, and today has more than 145 Corrals and Posses in the United States and overseas. Currently there are corrals in Buffalo, Cheyenne and Cody- this new posse will allow the Casper and Natrona County to participate in this excellent organization.
We would like to announce the Casper Posse of Westerner's schedule for the next two months.

Wednesday, October 15, 2014- 7:30 p.m. Mrs. Joann Ryan will present a program on her husband's great-grand father, John "Posie" Ryan- a Civil War veteran, homesteader near Fort Laramie, and a founder of Guernsey. He was implicated in a 1909 double homicide at Palmer's Cafe in Cheyenne.

Wednesday, November 19, 2014- 7:30 p.m. Ms. Johanna Wickman, our Museum Assistant, will speak on Camp Dodge, the temporary camp of the 11th Kansas Volunteer Cavalry on Garden Creek in 1865.
