NW+Colorado+History

Return to Exhibits History [|Moffat County] celebrated its 100th birthday on February 27, 2011. It was named for David H. Moffat who brought the railroad from Denver to Craig. [|Craig] is the county seat and one of three towns in the county. There is a rich western heritage in Moffat County which can be explored by visiting the two museums in town. The first is the [|Museum of Northwest Colorado] in downtown Craig and the other is the [|Wyman Museum] just to the east of town. Of particular interest in our history are the dinosaurs that once roamed this land at [|Dinosaur National Monument] in NW Moffat County and [|Brown's Park] where Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid once spent time. We hope you enjoy the student depictions of the history of our local area.
