Lewiston, Wyoming is accessed by traveling south from Atlantic City up Mill Hill, passing The Duncan turnoff, and then heading eight miles east on a gravel road. To the side, you will spot a bronze monument on the banks of Rock Creek that tells the story of 13 Mormon emigrants traveling to Utah in October of 1865 who froze to death during a single night and were buried in one grave. Four miles east of this marker there is fork to the left—this is Lewiston. The two-remaining buildings are the old store and the livery. Founded in 1879, Lewiston once had more than twenty-five buildings and four saloons in its heyday. The most famous mine was Bullion Shaft, and one-half mile south of town lies the Hidden Hand Mine, the Iron Duke Shaft, and the Good Hope Mine.
