What an amazing museum! A lovingly assembled collection of artifacts from the area has been turned into a storyline that describes what was life like here. Even the building itself is a 100+ years old school building that was state of the art when it was built, and still looks quite impressive on the outside as well as on the inside. Even the courthouse furniture has been preserved and arranged to show the layout of the courtroom of the times long past. Highly recommended to stop and enjoy.

Awesome museum. The staff was helpful and informative, knew a lot about the history and local area. This place was filled to the brim, and much larger than you would think going in. You could spend about an hour here if you took your time. The majority of the pieces were donated by local pioneer families, which just adds to the authenticity. The museum will soon move to the schoolhouse on the side street by sometime around february. Great spot.

After our visit to Sundance, we love this small town. And the museum in the old school building is wonderfully equipped and furnished. The highlight is the courtroom where the Sundance Kid was sentenced. Don't forget to visit the art and museum shop in the basement. Once again, many thanks to the lovely staff and the museum director, who gave us a personal tour. We will definitely be back, and send our best regards from Germany to Sundance.

These small town museums can be a treasure trove of understanding the history and geography of an area in a way that nothing else can. This museum does not disappoint, and is one of the best examples of why these museums need our support. You’ll find artifacts exclusively donated from county residents and the local government, many from families that still live in town. The dioramas will give you perspective over the geography, and illustrate historical sites in a way that nothing else can.

There was only one small tv screen in the museum. There were no fancy apps or iPads to see or use, which makes the entire museum itself feel like another time altogether. No amount of internet search is going to tell you the story like the wonderful locals volunteering at this museum. While some of the signage is quaint, you can tell a lot of love and care has been put into maintaining this facility for future...

While geo caching the Sundance Geocache Roundup, we needed help on one of the clues... Rocky, with the museum, gave a subtle clue that allowed us to find our 9th cache! After completing the 10th, we headed to the museum to submit our list of codes to receive the special coin... Rocky and another attendant at the museum were super friendly and excited for our success! Our 3 kiddos loved the museum and each left with something exciting from the well stocked gift shop inside! Thank you for sharing your history and your geography! I can highly recommend this museum. It is well...

If you are ever passing through Sundance, WY or on I90, this is a must visit. For a nominal $5 fee, you will have an immersive look into Crook County WY life. It is unbelievable the amount of historical items here! All lovingly tended to by staff who are very passionate about preserving their history! A bonus on every other Friday is the small Amish bakery right out front in Sundance City Park. They make the donuts fresh right in front of you! Delicious!!! The Jalepeno Cheese bread is...
