In Honor of Jacques LaRamie
State Highway 320 north of Wheatland

Free trapper, who came to this region around 1815 and met an unknown fate, probably at the hands of Indains, about 1820, on one of the rivers bearing his name between which this monument stands. Tradition says he was an honest, just and courageous leader and trader. His name is perpetuated by three Laramie Rivers, Fort Laramie, the Laramie Plains, Laramie Peak, Laramie City, and Laramie County.
