Washakie Museum
115 Obie Sue in Worland (307) 347-4102

The Washakie Museum provide visitors the opportunity to relate to the living environment of the early settlers from thousands of years ago. The museum is named for the Eastern Shoshoni statesman, Chief Washakie, whose philosophy of “Making the best of what you cannot change” led the Shoshoni tribe to offer peace to emigrants. Nine thousand pioneers signed a thank you document to Washakie and his people for safe passage through their territory. Washakie secured the Wind River Mountain Range for his tribe’s homeland.
